We investigated micro-threaded stem taper surface and its impact on premature failures,
aseptic loosening, and infection in cementless hip endoprostheses. Our study focused on …

Introduction: There has been widespread concern regarding the adverse tissue reactions
after metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip replacements (THR). Concerns have also been …

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 …

Background As revision surgeries of total hip arthroplasty are going to increase, success or
failure of revised implants is a fundamental aspect in the orthopaedic field. Today, slight is …

Background In total hip replacement, wear and corrosion arising from modular taper
connections have increasingly become a serious clinical concern. Previous studies led to …

Background Taper corrosion has been identified to be a major concern in total hip
arthroplasty during the past years. So far, the mechanisms that lead to taper corrosion in …

Introduction The National Joint Registry has recently identified failure of large head metal on
metal hip replacements. This failure is associated with the high torque at the interface of …

Background Previous studies identified imprinting of the stem morphology onto the interior
head bore, leading researchers to hypothesize an influence of taper topography on …

Background Taper corrosion in total hip arthroplasty for bearings with metal heads against
polyethylene has developed from an anecdotal observation to a clinical problem. Increased …

The focus on taper corrosion in modular hip arthroplasty increased around 2007 as a result
of clinical problems with large-head metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings on standard stems …
