Taperosis/trunnionosis is a scientific term for describing tribocorrosion (fretting corrosion) at
the head-neck taper junction of hip implants where two contacting surfaces are undergone …

An adaptive finite element simulation was developed to predict fretting wear in a head-neck
taper junction of hip joint implant through a two dimensional (2D) model and based on the …

This paper investigates the mechanical response of a modular head-neck interface of hip
joint implants under realistic loads of level walking. The realistic loads of the walking activity …

The impaction force required to assemble the head and stem components of hip implants is
proven to play a major role in the mechanics of the taper junction. However, it is not clear if …

To study the fretting tribological behavior of a PEEK hip prosthesis, Ti6Al4V was used as the
stem taper material, PEEK was used as the head material, and CoCrMo was used as the …

A finite element model was developed to investigate the effect of loading regimes caused by
various daily activities on the mechanical behaviour of the head-neck taper junction in …

Recently, concerns have been raised about the potential effect of head-neck junction
damage products at the local and systemic levels. Factors that may affect this damage …

Modularity of total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been linked to various forms of adverse local
tissue reaction (ALTR). ALTR is often a result of metallic particles and ions released from …

Hip resurfacing arthroplasty is associated with increased frictional moments compared to
standard heads owing to their large diameter. High frictional moments may harbor the risk of …

PEEK has been gradually recommended in recent years as a metal substitute for artificial
joint replacement. However, the risk of fretting of the PEEK artificial hip prosthesis in the …
