Porous Tantalum Hip Joint Augment II

Hip

The Porous Tantalum Hip Joint Augment II is a specialized orthopedic solution designed to restore pelvic integrity where natural bone has been lost due to trauma, tumor, or previous implant failure. By providing a high-friction, bio-active interface, this augment allows for the stable positioning of the hip socket, ensuring the restoration of proper biomechanics and patient mobility.

Key Clinical Features

  • Superior Osteointegration Potential: The porous tantalum matrix features a highly interconnected scaffold that promotes rapid bone ingrowth and vascularization, leading to a permanent biological bond between the implant and the pelvis.
  • Immediate High-Friction Stability: Tantalum’s unique surface texture provides an exceptional "scratch fit," offering immediate primary stability against the host bone to prevent the construct from shifting post-operatively.
  • Strategic Screw Fixation: As shown in the image, the augment includes integrated screw ports that allow for rigid anchoring into the stable regions of the ilium, providing critical secondary fixation.
  • Stress-Shielding Reduction: The material's elastic modulus is engineered to more closely match that of human cancellous bone, which encourages natural load transfer and helps preserve the surrounding bone stock.
  • Modular Versatility: The geometry is specifically contoured to fill posterior and superior voids, creating a perfectly aligned and level platform for the placement of a modular acetabular cup
