In one exemplary embodiment, an orthopedic prosthesis is formed from a titanium alloy and subjected to surface nitriding followed by laser shock peening. By nitriding the titanium alloy, the hardness of the alloy's surface is increased. Then, by subjecting the nitrided surface of the alloy to laser shock peening, the fretting fatigue of the nitrided surface may be increased by more than 100%.03-04-2010
