## Abstract Studies of various apatite coatings on metal orthopaedic prostheses suggest that coating dissolution may promote enhanced bone bonding. Little is known concerning the effect of crystallinity and the underlying roughness on calcium phosphate (Ca/P) coating dissolution rate. To address th
Calcium phosphate coatings on steel, obtained by the plasma-spray technique, were examined by x-ray diffraction in order to get some information on their crystallographic structure and crystallinity. Surface roughness values were also determined. These coatings are of interest for hip-prosthesis mat
