[0055] In step S4, after the pre-sintered shoulder joint implant prosthesis is subjected to hot isostatic pressing and before the formed shoulder joint implant prosthesis is obtained, it also includes forming processing: grinding and polishing the shoulder joint implant prosthesis after hot isostatic pressing so that the shape and surface quality of the shoulder joint implant prosthesis meet the use requirements.
