Description

INTRODUCTION
Taper junction fretting and corrosion (F&C) has been identified in total hip arthroplasty (THA) as an implant failure mode. Studies have reported taper F&C in in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA) implants, but limited literature has described comparable analyses in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) implants. In this study, taper junction F&C in retrieved RTSA implants was assessed and analyzed.
