Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a medical implant (10) comprising an implant body (12) comprising a polymer material. The implant body has a bone-facing interface (14) and an articulating interface (16). A stiffening layer (18) is provided over at least a portion of the bone-facing interface. The stiffening layer is porous and is formed of a material having a higher stiffness than the polymer material of the underlying bone-facing interface.
