Hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated Ti6AI4V has recently been used as a bone substitute in orthopaedic and dental applications because of its favourable bioactivity and mechanical properties. Studies in the literature have shown that the bioactivity of calcium phosphate bioactive glass (BG) is higher than th
## Abstract A porous metal coating applied to solid substrate implants has been shown, __in vivo__, to anchor implants by bone ingrowth. Calcium phosphate ceramics, in particular hydroxyapatite [Ca~10~(PO~4~)~6~(OH)~2~, HA], are bioactive ceramics, which are known to be biocompatible and osteocondu
