Variability in stem taper surface topography affects the degree of corrosion and fretting in total hip arthroplasty
Abstract Degradation at the modular head-neck interface in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is predominately expressed in the form of corrosion and fretting, potentially causing peri-prosthetic failure by adverse reactions to metal debris. This retrieval study aimed to quantify variations in stem taper...
