Reconstruction of severe acetabular defects (Paprosky type III A) in total hip arthroplasty using modular tantalum augments in combination with a cemented cup
This study has demonstrated good mid-term (mean 4.5 years) clinical and radiological outcomes of modular tantalum TM augments in combination with a cemented cup for the reconstruction of major acetabular defects. Mean blood tantalum concentrations were increased in patients with stable tantalum implants compared to healthy controls.
