Clinical use of porous tantalum in complex primary total knee arthroplasty.
Neil P Sheth et al.
American journal of orthopedics (Belle Mead, N.J.), 38(10), 526-530 (2009-12-17)

Porous tantalum is an alternative metal for total joint arthroplasty components that offers several unique properties. Its high volumetric porosity (70% to 80%), low modulus of elasticity (3 MPa), and high frictional characteristics make it conducive to biologic fixation. Tantalum

Clinical materials, 16(3), 167-173 (1993-12-09)
A detailed literature search was carried out to define the current knowledge about the biological performance of tantalum. The pure metal appears, to a great degree, to be inert both in vivo and in vitro. Both the pure metal and
Robert Cohen

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
