Characterisation of the oxide film on the taper interface from retrieved large diameter metal on polymer modular total hip replacements
Many metal joint failures have been associated with adverse local tissue reactions due to the response of the body to wear debris and corrosion products, released from the bearing surfaces or the taper interfaces. It is believed that the oxide film on the CoCrMo alloy is playing an important role on...
