Tantalum Metal Trabecular Tibial Augment Type I

Knee

The Tantalum Metal Trabecular Tibial Augment Type I is engineered to solve the most challenging bone deficiency cases in revision knee surgery. Utilizing the unique properties of Tantalum—a highly biocompatible metal with superior friction characteristics—this augment provides an immediate mechanical solution for tibial bone loss while ensuring long-term biological stability.

Key Clinical Features

Trabecular Metal™ Technology: The porous, honeycomb-like structure mimics natural cancellous bone, providing a high-porosity scaffold (up to 80%) that encourages rapid and deep bone ingrowth.
High Coefficient of Friction: Tantalum’s natural "grittiness" offers exceptional initial scratch fit and primary stability, preventing the implant from sliding or shifting against the host bone.
Biomechanical Synergy: The material’s elastic modulus is designed to be more flexible than traditional cobalt-chrome or titanium, reducing stress-shielding and preserving the health of the surrounding bone.
Anatomically Contoured Type I Design: Specifically shaped for the proximal tibia to fill cavitary and segmental defects, restoring the joint line and providing a level platform for the tibial tray.
Unmatched Biocompatibility: Tantalum is highly resistant to corrosion and is exceptionally well-tolerated by human tissue, making it the ideal material for permanent orthopedic reconstruction
