This study aims to prospect the evolution of the technology and science applied to the surface of total hip implants femoral stems. The research aims to identify elements that contribute for the improvement of osteointegration and the prevention of infection by bacteria biofilm. The main objective of this study is to appoint the direction this technology has been taking through the last decades, the nations that have developed more in that field and, possibly, to detect gaps of improvement in the application of studies for patent generation, aiming to promote the production of implants with less chance of failure, it means, better success rates. Keywords Hip Implant, Surface Characterization, Osteointegration, Biofilm, Roughness.
