To review the progress in the treatment of bone defect by porous tantalum implant. Recent literature was extensively reviewed and summarized, concerning the treatment method of bone defect by porous tantalum implant. By right of their unique properties, porous tantalum
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

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
