Combined structural allograft and tantalum cone to manage segmental metaphyseal tibial bone defect in revision knee arthroplasty

Tibial bone defect remains a challenge in revision knee arthroplasty. The present innovative technique combines structural allograft and tantalum metaphyseal cone for treatment of AORI stage 2A and 2B (uncontained peripheral metaphyseal) tibial defect. The aim is to reconstitute bone stock and enhance allograft osseointegration, while limiting stress to the allograft by implanting the metaphyseal cone through the allograft and the original bone.
