Bilateral Mechanically-Assisted Crevice Corrosion Resulting in Femoral Stem-Head Dissociation in Metal-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Arthroplasty

Bilateral Mechanically-Assisted Crevice Corrosion Resulting in Femoral Stem-Head Dissociation in Metal-on-Polyethylene Total Hip Arthroplasty

There are emerging reports of complications related to corrosion in modular femoral components. We report a unique case describing an 83-year-old man with bilateral mechanically-assisted crevice corrosion in hip replacements performed 10 years previously, by the same surgeon using the same size 3 Ac...
