Chronic inflammation and bone defects after total knee arthroplasty are a challenge for the orthopedic surgeon. There have been few reports on application of a three-dimensional (3D) printed porous tantalum prosthesis in such situations. We report an 83-year-old female patient who presented to our clinic with consistent pain of the left knee for 10 years and a severe decline in mobility for 2 years. Chronic inflammation, loosening of a tibial prosthesis with a bone defect, and severe osteoporosis were diagnosed. The patient was treated with computer designed and manufactured, personalized, 3D printed porous pure tantalum pad-assisted left total knee arthroplasty. The surgery went smoothly and the patient achieved a satisfactory recovery after surgery. A 3D printed porous tantalum prosthesis can be used to reconstruct tibial bone defects in patients with chronic inflammation after joint replacement surgeries.
