Zusammenfassung:Abstract Since our last publication, “Modular taper junction corrosion and failure: how to approach a recalled total hip arthroplasty implant,” (Pivec et al. JOA 2014) we have completed a comprehensive review of the literature in English, with search terms referencing to the diagnosis, management, and outcomes of patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty with a recalled dual modular hip implant. Based on this review as well as the new guidelines by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and the Hip Society, we propose an updated algorithm for the diagnosis and management of patients with these recalled implants.
