A comparative surface analysis of explanted hip prostheses: stainless steel and Co-Cr alloy versus titanium alloy

A comparative surface analysis of explanted hip prostheses: stainless steel and Co-Cr alloy versus titanium alloy

The introduction of modular design in total hip arthroplasty has enabled the use of different materials in one single configuration and the adjustment of the prosthesis to the patient’s body, and facilitated medical revisions. However, modularity leads to the presence of new interfaces created betw...
