AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Porous tantalum implants are used in early osteonecrosis of the hip. Device evaluation included surgical time, blood loss, hospitalization, patient-controlled analgesia use, transfusions, implant survival, and outcomes. Mean blood loss was 70 mL. Mean operative time was 36 minutes. Average hospitalization was less than 1 day. No patient required patient-controlled analgesia use or transfusions. Results were compared to a historical vascularized fibular graft population. All parameters were less than the fibular graft groups (P < .00001). All surviving implants (86%) resulted in good to excellent outcomes. Kaplan-Meier analysis at 39 months was 86% and 67% for the implant and fibular graft, respectively (P = .21). Early outcomes demonstrate that porous tantalum implants are a safe option for femoral head salvage. Continued follow-up is necessary to determine the long-term success.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the suitable surgical strategies for applying TaBw01 porous tantalum rod across different stages of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).
Methods: TaBw01 tantalum rods were fabricated using type FTaY-1 tantalum powder via the foam impregnation-sintering method. Mechanical testing with the Instron 8801 universal testing machine and finite element analysis (FEA) assessed single tantalum rod implantation and impaction bone grafting combined with rod implantation.

Traditional anodization was generally conducted in aqueous or water-containing solutions at room temperature or even lower temperatures. The two best known examples of the application of traditional anodization in the fabrication of nanostructured oxides are porous anodic alumina and titania nanotube films. In 1998, Melody et al.

Objective: To explore the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of biological total hip arthroplasty(THA) combined with impacting bone grafting for the treatment of moderate to severe acetabular invagination secondary to rheumatoid arthritis(RA).
Methods: Total of 20 patients(28 hips) with RA secondary to acetabular invagination were treated with THA of bioprosthesis combined with autogenous bone grafting from January 2012 to October 2020, including 5 males(8 hips) and 15 females(20 hips) with an average age of (55.10±4.

Purpose: The conversion of knee arthrodesis to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a challenging procedure. This article aims to report a case of fusion knee with patellar absence who was converted to TKA and has achieved good results.
Methods: The patient, a 23 years old Tibetan Buddhist monk, sustained a left knee joint injury at the age of 12 due to a car accident, leading to subsequent knee arthrodesis at 18 years old as a result of recurrent severe infections.

Background: Trabecular metal is being increasingly used in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study compared medium-term (< 15 years) outcomes of fiber mesh titanium and trabecular metal acetabular components.
Methods: This study included 6,563 patients who underwent primary THA with either fiber mesh titanium or trabecular metal-backed acetabular components.
