Abstract EN
Revision Total Knee or Hip Arthroplasty is challenging procedures for surgeons usually characterized by bone loss.
There are different options available to treat those bone losses.
However, there is still a concern on the stability of bone-implant interface, which is mandatory to achieve good long-term results in prosthetic implants.
Recently, porous tantalum has been introduced, with the aim of improving the bone-implant interface fixation and implant primary stability.
Different solutions for the treatment of bone defects in both revision Total Knee and Hip Arthroplasty have been proposed.
In revision Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) tantalum shells can be used to treat Paprosky type III defects also, because of their mechanical properties.
Similarly, trabecular metal has been proposed in revision Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA), being considered a viable option to treat severe type 2 or 3 defects.
The aim of this paper is to review the mechanical properties and characteristics of tantalum.
Furthermore, we will discuss its role in treating bone defects in both revision THA and TKA, as well as the outcome reported in literature.
