Novel concept of a modular hip implant could contribute to less implant failure in THA: a hypothesis

Abstract Background The modularity in total hip arthroplasty (THA) allows orthopaedic surgeons for an exact reconstruction of hip biomechanical parameters especially in revision and tumor arthroplasty. Modular structured femoral stems using taper junctions showed increased implant breakage in the re...
