Bearing-Foreign Material Deposition on Retrieved Co-Cr Femoral Heads: Composition and Morphology

Bearing-Foreign Material Deposition on Retrieved Co-Cr Femoral Heads: Composition and Morphology

Bearing-foreign material deposition onto a femoral head can occur from contact with an acetabular shell due to dislocation, reduction, or subluxation. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively characterize deposit regions on retrieved cobalt-chrome femoral heads from metal-on-polyethylene tot...
