Breakage of tapered junctions of modular stems in revision total hip arthroplasty—high incidence in a consecutive series of a single institution

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Oliver E. Bischel and colleagues from the InstitutionBioengineering, , Germany Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, University of Heidelberg, Schlierbacher Landstr200a have published the article: Breakage of Tapered Junctions of Modular Stems in Revision Total Hip Arthroplastyu2014High Incidence in a Consecutive Series of a Single Institution, in the Journal: Bioengineering 2023, 341 of 17/01/2023
• what: Although intra- and postoperative adaption to patient`s characteristics is easier to perform with a modular device, breakage of taper junctions appears and the risk may rise during follow-up.
