    Abstract: The invention concerns a polymer composition for making a bone anchoring part of an orthopedic implant for use in repair of damaged cartilage tissue, comprising a biostable thermoplastic polyurethane and 15-70 mass% of micron-sized inorganic particles comprising a biocompatible transition metal compound. It was found that the relatively rigid TPU composition comprising said inorganic particles allows making an anchoring part that can be inserted or press-fitted into a pre-drilled bone hole to form a firm and durable connection to bone tissue, and which may be visualized with for example X-ray or MRI methods. The polymer composition shows favorable properties and enables freedom in designing and making the implant with common techniques like injection molding. In other aspects, the invention relates to methods of making said polymer composition, and to using the polymer composition in making an orthopedic implant comprising a bone anchoring part, like in forming the implant with a multi-component injection molding process comprising a step of molding the bone anchoring part from the polymer composition.
