Analysis of peripheral bone reconstruction after the failure of hip osteonecrosis treatment with porous tantalum rod implantation.
Abstract
Failure of porous tantalum rod (PTR) implantation in treating early osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) has been frequently reported, but the underlying mechanism remains uncertain, which raised the concern of its efficacy. The study aimed to discuss the underlying mechanism from the perspectives of bone reconstruction and pathological changes.
