In vivo oxide-induced stress corrosion cracking of Ti-6Al-4V in a neck-stem modular taper: Emergent behavior in a new mechanism of in vivo corrosion

In vivo modular taper corrosion in orthopedic total joint replacements has been documented to occur for head–neck tapers, modular‐body tapers, and neck–stem tapers. While the fretting corrosion mechanism by which this corrosion occurs has been described in the literature, this report shows new and a...
