Surface Roughness of CoCr and ZrO(2) Femoral Heads with Metal Transfer: A Retrieval and Wear Simulator Study

Metal transfer to femoral heads may result from impingement against the metallic acetabular shell following subluxation/dislocation, or when metallic debris enters the articulation zone. Such transfers roughen the head surface, increasing polyethylene wear in total hip replacements. Presently, we ex...
