Quantification of the Contact Area at the Head-Stem Taper Interface of Modular Hip Prostheses

Corrosion of modular taper junctions of hip implants may be associated with clinical failure. Taper design parameters, as well as the intraoperatively applied assembly forces, have been proposed to affect corrosion. Fretting corrosion is related to relative interface shear motion and fluid ingress,...
