Core Tip	Revisions of acetabular implant components are frequently associated with bone defects. Porous tantalum acetabular cups and augments were intro­duced to improve biological fixing and restore the normal centre of rotation. The greatest advantage is for major bone defects, where the tantalum cup and augments provide stable primary fixing with the biological potential for bone ingrowth. Nowadays, porous tantalum represents the ideal bone substitute in prosthetic revisions.
