In 21 knees receiving porous tantalum tibial component and 21 knees receiving a cemented cobalt-chromium tibial component, dual x-ray absorptiometry scans were performed for five years post-operatively. The postoperative decrease in the bone mineral density in the lateral aspect of the tibia was significantly less in knees with porous tantalum tibial components (11.6%) than in knees with cemented cobalt-chromium tibial components (29.6%) at five years (p < 0.05). No prosthetic migration or periprosthetic fracture was detected in either group. The present study is one of the studies with the longest follow-up period on bone mineral density after total knee arthroplasty. Porous tantalum tibial component has a favorable effect on the bone mineral density of the proximal tibia after total knee arthroplasty up to five years.

Application of additive manufacturing TaBw01 porous tantalum rod in ARCO stage II osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

J Orthop Surg Res

December 2024

Center for Joint Surgery, Southwest Hospital, Army Medical University, Gaotanyan Street, Shapingba District, Chongqing, 400038, China.

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.

3D preoperative plan assisted total knee arthroplasty after knee arthrodesis with patella absence: a case report.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

November 2024

Center for Sports Medicine, Southwest Hospital, Third Military Medical University, No. 30 Gaotanyan Street, Shapingba District, Chongqing, 400036, China.

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.
