It was these long-term problems which lead to the general enthusiasm for alternate methods of implant attachment, including bone growth into a porous-surfaced implant.19 Among the obstacles which must be overcome when utilizing biologically attached implant systems are micromotion at the implant -tissue interface (which results in fibrous rather than bone tissue in growth), subsidence of the femoral component, and stress shielding due to failure of the implant design to reproduce adequately anatomical stress distribution.
