• Biomaterials in orthopaedics (2008, background): “Its high volumetric porosity, low elastic modulus (it can be as low as 3 GPa) and good frictional characteristics make tantalum foam an ideal candidate for weight-bearing applications such as total joint arthroplasty (Levine et al. 2006).”
• Laser and electron‐beam powder‐bed additive manufacturing of metallic implants: A review on processes, materials and designs (2016, background): “Currently, components for orthopaedic use have an average pore size ranging from 400 to 600mm with a volume porosity of 75–85%.(24) In addition to having suitable open pore size and porosity for cell attachment and proliferation, the implant must have sufficient mechanical strength to support physio”
