Excerpt

Head-neck modularity is a universally accepted option in hip arthroplasty, and it has worked extremely well in millions of cases over the years. But there is also a large body of evidence that modularity is a source of metallurgical problems including fretting corrosion and wear, producing particles that can potentially lead to clinical problems [1, 8]. …
