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
