The Distribution and Severity of Corrosion Damage at Eight Distinct Zones of Metallic Femoral Stem Implants

The Distribution and Severity of Corrosion Damage at Eight Distinct Zones of Metallic Femoral Stem Implants

Metallic taper junctions of modular total hip replacement implants are analysed for corrosion damage using visual scoring based on different granularity levels that span from analysing the taper holistically to dividing the taper into several distinct zones. This study aims to objectively explore th...
