This study evaluated the osseous tissue response to a noncemented metal-backed acetabular component made of a new porous tantalum biomaterial. Eleven dogs with bilateral total hip arthroplasties (22 acetabular implants) were studied for a period of 6 months. Thin section histology, high-resolution radiography, and backscattered scanning electron microscopy revealed that all 22 implants had stable bone-implant interfaces. Regions of bone ingrowth were present in all histologic sections. The depth of bone ingrowth varied from 0.2 mm to the maximal limit of 2 mm. Analyzing contiguous regions of interest across the full bone-implant interface, the mean bone ingrowth for all sections was 16.8% +/- 5.7%. In the peripheral regions of the cup where bone-implant contact was most consistent, bone ingrowth averaged 25.1% +/- 10.1%. The data indicate that the porous tantalum material is effective for biologic fixation in the dog and may provide a suitable alternative to other porous materials used in acetabular cup design.
