Porous tantalum implants are a class of materials commonly used in clinical practice to
repair bone defects. However, the cumbersome and problematic preparation procedure …

Infected bone defects (IBDs) remains a challenging problem for orthopedists. Clinically,
routine management for IBDs has two stages: debridement and systematic antibiotics …

Bone generally displays a high intrinsic capacity to regenerate. Nonetheless, large osseous
defects sometimes fail to heal. The treatment of such large segmental defects still represents …

After bone defects reach a certain size, the body can no longer repair them. Tantalum,
including its porous form, has attracted increasing attention due to good bioactivity …

Tantalum (Ta) and its alloys have been used for various cardiovascular, orthopedic, fracture
fixation, dental, and spinal fusion implants. This review evaluates the biological and material …

3D-printed porous tantalum scaffold has been increasingly used in arthroplasty due to its
bone-matching elastic modulus and good osteoinductive ability. However, the lack of …

Porous tantalum (Ta) implants have been developed and clinically applied as high-quality
implant biomaterials in the orthopedics field because of their excellent corrosion resistance …

Tantalum (Ta) is used in dental implantology due to its high biocompatibility and potential
clinical applications. Ta has low bone regeneration and low abrasion resistance, which can …
