An implant can be implantable into a human body and can include a metallic substrate and a ceramic layer. The metallic substrate can be formed by additive manufacturing. The metallic substrate can be engageable with a bone. The metallic substrate can include an inner surface, an outer surface, and a plurality of retention features. The inner surface can define a plurality of pores configured to promote bone ingrowth into the metallic substrate. The plurality of retention features can include a proximal portion connected to the outer surface and the proximal portion can define a proximal width. The ceramic layer can be a bearing surface that can be spray coated to the metallic substrate and formed around the retention features to interlock the ceramic layer with the metallic substrate.
