The Use of Trabecular Metal Implants for Paprosky 3A and 3B Defects

In hip revision, complex defects are difficult to reconstruct. Reports suggest that traditional porous implants and cages may fail in more severe bone defects. The author has published a higher failure rate of traditional implants in type 3 defects. This study reports the early success of trabecular metal (TM) implants in this difficult reconstruction.
