    AnnotationThere are many technological ways to activate biocompatible surfaces, but in some cases, there are not reliable for elderly patients. It has been found that surfaces created using pulsating water jets have a structure similar to trabecular bone structures. Such a similar shape to the endoprosthesis stems would enable faster fixation. The paper presents a novel way of utilizing the water hammer effect caused by forced multiple droplet impingement with a spatial frequency of 40,000 i/s on Ti6Al4V titanium alloy surface under different technological conditions. The objective was to create a structured surface with desired values of surface profile parameters Ra and Rz to increase the possible potential for implant osseointegration, fixation and stability. Pulsating water jet was generated at pressures from 20 to 100 MPa using a circular nozzle with a diameter of 1.32 mm. Two different strategies of the jet trajectory, namely linear and cross-hatch strategy, were investigated. Results were compared with grit blasted followed by plasma spray-coated femoral stem for cementless total hip arthroplasty. It has been found that variation in the input parameters results in significant changes in the surface generated. Samples whose surfaces were generated using energy intensity lower than 5 KJ/mm 2 and have surface roughness in the range Ra = 4 – 8 μm were selected for surface topography and morphology analysis along with the commercial femoral stem. SEM analysis revealed the absence of foreign contamination and steeper surface heights on pulsating water jet treated samples compared to standard femoral prosthetic. The cross-section images showed the presence of sub-surface voids and craters of different sizes due to the jet's action. Surface topology is similar to trabecular shape. This indicates that roughening the surface increases the surface area and thus has potential bone tissue ingrowth during osseointegration.
