The stability of dual-taper modular hip implants: a biomechanical analysis examining the effect of impact location on component stability

The stability of dual-taper modular hip implants: a biomechanical analysis examining the effect of impact location on component stability

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the stability of dual-taper modular implants following impaction forces delivered at varying locations as measured by the distraction forces required to disassemble the components. Methods: Distraction of the head-neck and neck-stem (NS) taper...
