According to published results, use of porous tantalum tibial metaphyseal cones in revision total knee arthroplasty was associated with durable survivorship at 10 years and low rates of implant removal.

Significant bone defects associated with component loosening, subsidence and osteolysis are commonly encountered during revision to­tal knee arthroplasty. The severity of bone loss may pose a challenge for establishing a stable construct during the procedure.
