Tribocorrosion is common but mild in modular humeral components in shoulder arthroplasty: an implant retrieval analysis

Background: Wear and corrosion at the junctions of modular implants are increasingly recognized issues in the design of hip and knee arthroplasty prostheses, yet less is known about their significance in shoulder arthroplasty. Methods: A query of paired total shoulder implant specimens (eg, humeral...
