Effect of femoral head size on the wear of metal on metal bearings in total hip replacements under adverse edge-loading conditions

Metal-on-metal (MoM) bearings have shown low-wear rates under standard hip simulator conditions; however, retrieval studies have shown large variations in wear rates and mechanisms. High-wear in vivo has caused catastrophic complications and has been associated with steep cup-inclination angle (rota...
