Midterm Results of Porous Tantalum Femoral Cones in Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty
Conclusions:
In what we believe to be the largest series of such implants, femoral cones provided a durable and reliable option for metaphyseal fixation during revision TKA with severe femoral bone loss. Aseptic failure of the femoral cone was associated with use of a hinged TKA in a patient with a Type-3 bone defect.
Level of Evidence:
Therapeutic Level IV. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
