The prosthesis component (10), comprising a substrate (11) made of a polymeric material and a coating (12), characterized in that said coating (12) comprises titanium. The method for manufacturing the prosthesis component (10) comprising the stages of forming a polymeric substrate (11) and depositing a coating (12) on said polymeric substrate (11) comprising titanium by means of physical vapor deposition sputtering. It enables providing a prosthesis component that improves the fixation thereof, based on the formation of a bioactive layer to improve the degree of osseointegration and, therefore, the fixation thereof to the bone.
