“…Complications with these techniques include infection, graft resorption, nonunion, failure of graft incorporation, concerns regarding disease transmission, aseptic loosening, and periprosthetic fracture [1,7,14,17,33]. Although the short-term results with tantalum cones have been promising [9,18,21,23,24,26,[34][35][36]42], to our knowledge, there have been no studies reporting mid-term outcomes with their use. We therefore sought to determine the midterm results evaluating (1) reoperation rates for septic and aseptic causes, (2) radiologic findings of osseointegration, and (3) clinical outcomes based on the Knee Society score in patients who underwent revision knee arthroplasty with tantalum cones for significant bone loss.…”
