Tantalum Metal Trabecular Tibial Augment Type III

Knee

The Tantalum Metal Trabecular Tibial Augment Type III. provides a comprehensive reconstructive solution for complex revision Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). When bone loss is extensive and involves the central or circumferential proximal tibia, the Type III augment offers the necessary structural reinforcement to create a stable, level, and biologically active foundation for the tibial implant.

Key Clinical Features

  • 360-Degree Structural Reinforcement: The Type III "conical" design is engineered to address large, central cavitary defects, providing uniform support across the tibial plateau to prevent implant tilting or subsidence.
  • Osteoconductive Trabecular Matrix: Features an interconnected porous structure that mimics natural bone, facilitating rapid vascularization and deep bone ingrowth for a permanent biological bond.
  • Exceptional Primary Fixation: Tantalum’s high coefficient of friction provides an immediate, secure "scratch fit" against the host bone, ensuring stability from the moment of implantation.
  • Stress-Shielding Mitigation: Designed with a low modulus of elasticity to match human bone more closely than standard titanium or cobalt-chrome, promoting healthier surrounding bone density.
  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Despite its lightweight, porous nature, the Tantalum scaffold possesses the compressive strength required to withstand high physiological loads in the knee joint.
