Atomic Scale Origin of Metal Ion Release from Hip Implant Taper Junctions

Atomic Scale Origin of Metal Ion Release from Hip Implant Taper Junctions

Abstract Millions worldwide suffer from arthritis of the hips, and total hip replacement is a clinically successful treatment for end‐stage arthritis patients. Typical hip implants incorporate a cobalt alloy (Co–Cr–Mo) femoral head fixed on a titanium alloy (Ti‐6Al‐4V) femoral stem via a Morse taper...
