Preliminary Results of an Uncemented Trabecular Metal Tibial Component in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Minimum 6year results of an uncemented trabecular metal tibial component in total knee arthroplasty

“…We have previously reported results at a minimum 3-year follow up [5]. We now report the results of our series of 109 consecutive, unselected primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) in 105 patients at a minimum follow up of 6 years.…”

“…This happened at 27 months post operatively for unexplained pain following a fall and was reported in the 3-year results [5]. The TM tibia was fully ingrown and was removed by sawing through the pegs and under the tray.…”

Trends in glenoid component design in unconstrained shoulder arthroplasty

“…Trabecular Metal, while new to shoulder arthroplasty, has been studied in a canine model and also utilized in total hip and knee component fixation. 4,5,16 The 3-year follow-up studies on tantalum cementless tibial components detected 0% lucent line formation. Clinical evaluation with Oxford knee scores and SF-12 scores indicated similar results as obtained with cemented tibial components.…”

“…Clinical evaluation with Oxford knee scores and SF-12 scores indicated similar results as obtained with cemented tibial components. 16 Unfortunately, to date, no data exist in the literature regarding this glenoid implant.…”

Porous metallic structures for orthopaedic applications: a short review of materials and technologies

“…Sintered wires (sulmesh) coated acetabular cup, for example, showed a 100% survival rate on 100 analysed acetabular cups after a follow-up time of 9.7 years [23] where revision was considered the endpoint. CVD of tantalum on vitreous carbon (trabecular metal) showed a 98.3% survival rate in [24] and a similar survival rate for 105 total knee arthroplasty with a follow-up time of 36-56 months [25]. Lost-wax casting (metal spongiosa) showed an 88.8% survival rate in 15-17 years on 165 analysed acetabular cups, with variable degree of stress shielding phenomena in 21% of cases [26].…”
