Fretting corrosion of screws contribute to the fixation failure of the femoral neck: a case report

Fretting corrosion of metal implants has been associated with implant failure and revision surgeries. This report describes the fixation failure of a femoral neck fracture in a 61-year-old male patient due to corrosion of three cannulated screws. Radiographic evaluation at the time of primary surger...
