Introduction:Material loss at the head-neck junction in total hip arthroplasty may cause adverse clinical symptoms and implant failure. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively examine the effects of head size, stem material and stem offset on material loss of the head-neck taper interface of a single trunnion design in retrieval implants of metal on polyethylene bearing surfaces.Methods:A retrieval study was performed to identify all 28-mm and 32-mm femoral heads from a single implant/taper design implanted for >2 years. This included n = 56 of the 28-mm heads and n = 23 of the 32-mm heads. The 28-mm femoral heads were matched to 32-mm femoral heads based on time in vivo and head length. A coordinate measuring machine was used to determine maximum linear corrosion depth (MLD). Differences in MLD for head diameter, stem material, and stem offset were determined.Results:There were no differences between groups for age, gender, BMI, or implantation time. There was no difference in MLD between 28 mm and 32 mm matched paired head diameters ( p = 0.59). There was also no difference in MLD between titanium or cobalt-chromium stems ( p = 0.79), and regular or high-offset stems ( p = 0.95).Conclusion:There is no statistical difference in femoral head MLD at the head-neck junction in THA between 28-mm and 32-mm matched paired femoral heads, similar or mixed alloy coupled femoral head stem constructs, and regular or high offset stems.

Modularity at the head-neck junction of the femoral component in THA became popular as a design feature with advantages of decreasing implant inventory and allowing adjustment of leg length, offset, and soft tissue balancing through different head options. The introduction of a new modular interface to femoral stems that were previously monoblock, or nonmodular, comes with the potential for corrosion at the taper junction through mechanically assisted crevice corrosion. The incidence of revision hip arthroplasty is on the rise and along with improved wear properties of polyethylene and ceramic, use of larger femoral head sizes is becoming increasingly popular. Taper corrosion appears to be related to all of its geometric parameters, material combinations, and femoral head size. This review article discusses the pathogenesis, risk factors, clinical assessment, and management of taper corrosion at the head-neck junction.
