Pseudotumour formation due to tribocorrosion at the taper interface of large diameter metal on polymer modular total hip replacements
We present an in-depth failure analysis of two large diameter bearing metal-on-polymer (MoP) modular total hip replacements, which have required revision surgery due to pseudotumour formation. The failure analysis showed a discrete pattern of material loss from the distal end of the head taper/stem...
