Abstract
An implantable prosthesis having porous textured surface regions and methods for making the same provide improved prostheses and prosthesis manufacturing methods. The implantable prostheses contain one more bead preforms that are secured to the metallic prosthesis components during the casting process to form porous textured surface regions in desired areas of the prostheses.
