Survivorship at 10 years when a TM Revision Shell is used in revision THA.
Made from commercially pure elemental tantalum and designed to withstand physiologic loads
100% open engineered and interconnected pore structure to support biological fixation and vascularisation,
Up to 80% porosity
Low modulus of elasticity similar to cancellous bone for more normal physiological loading which has the potential to reduce stress shielding when used in a monoblock or monolithic application
High coefficient of friction vs. cancellous bone for stable initial fixation
Chemically stable and biocompatible material which creates little adverse biological response
The performance of specific components in human subjects has been well-documented in peer-reviewed journal articles, poster exhibits and abstracts. Independent studies have confirmed the structural and mechanical properties of Trabecular Metal material.,,,
