A combined experimental and finite element approach to analyse the fretting mechanism of the head–stem taper junction in total hip replacement

Fretting corrosion at the taper interface of modular hip implants has been implicated as a possible cause of implant failure. This study was set up to gain more insight in the taper mechanics that lead to fretting corrosion. The objectives of this study therefore were (1) to select experimental load...
