Deformation of the Durom acetabular component and its impact on tribology in a cadaveric model--a simulator study.
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that the acetabular component frequently becomes deformed during press-fit insertion. The aim of this study was to explore the deformation of the Durom cup after implantation and to clarify the impact of deformation on wear and ion release of the Durom large hea...
