Conventional porous-coated joint prostheses used in hip and knee reconstruction have demonstrated good clinical results, however, these implants possess some inherent shortcomings such as low volumetric porosity, suboptimal frictional characteristics, and higher modulus of elasticity relative to that of bone.

The journal of knee surgery, 20(3), 185-194 (2007-08-02)
Porous tantalum represents an alternative metal for primary and revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with several unique properties. Tantalum is a transition metal, which in its bulk form has shown excellent biocompatibility and is safe to use in vivo as

American journal of orthopedics (Belle Mead, N.J.), 31(4), 216-217 (2002-05-15)
Conventional materials used for orthopedic reconstruction implants limit the design of new and improved implants. Solid metal is rigid. Porous fixation surfaces have low volumetric porosity available for biologic ingrowth and low frictional characteristics for initial implant stability and have
