During recent decades vast and continuously increasing numbers of biomedical implants
have been introduced for continuous use in the human body. Since the early cemented hip …

The aim of this article is to review those aspects of corrosion behaviour that are most
relevant to the clinical application of implant alloys. The special modes of corrosion …

Background: Corrosion at the modular head-neck junction of the femoral component in total
hip arthroplasty has been identified as a potential concern, although symptomatic adverse …

Background: Femoral stems with dual-taper modularity were introduced to allow additional
options for hip-center restoration independent of femoral fixation in total hip arthroplasty …

A multicenter retrieval analysis of 231 modular hip implants was done to investigate the
effects of material combination, metallurgic condition, flexural rigidity, head and neck …

Mechanically assisted corrosion (fretting corrosion, tribocorrosion etc.,) of metallic
biomaterials is a primary concern for numerous implant applications, particularly in the …

Background Modular neck adapters for hip arthroplasty stems allow the surgeon to modify
CCD angle, offset and femoral anteversion intraoperatively. Fretting or crevice corrosion …

The primary goal of this study was to determine if head size affects corrosion and fretting
behaviour at the head-neck taper interface of modular hip prostheses. Seventy-four implants …

In this study, the local and distant distribution of solid and soluble products of corrosion from
the head and neck junction of modular femoral total hip prosthetic components were …

Titanium alloys are widely used in total‐joint replacements due to a combination of
outstanding mechanical properties, biocompatibility, passivity, and corrosion resistance …
