A finite element analysis of tibial tritanium cones without stems in varying bone defects

In the UK around 10% of hip and knee arthroplasties are revision operations. At revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), bone loss management is critical to achieving a stable bone-implant construct. Though tritanium cones have been used to manage bone defects in rTKA, their biomechanical performance with varying defects remains unknown.
