Dual-taper modular hip implant: Investigation of 3-dimensional surface scans for component contact, shape, and fit
Background: The etiology of wear particle generation and subsequent corrosion in modular total hip arthroplasty implants likely begins with mechanical fretting. The purpose of this study was to determine geometric features of the male and female taper surfaces that drive stability within the neck-st...
