Prior studies have identified a single femoral component design with an increased propensity for catastrophic trunnion failure. The purpose of the present study was to quantify trunnion damage of this femoral component retrieved from patients undergoing revision THA for non-trunnionosis indications.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>24 femoral components from a single manufacturer were identified for study inclusion. Each prosthesis underwent stereomicroscopic inspection. Corrosion and fretting scores were assigned per the Goldberg criteria to quadrants of the trunnion. Material loss was calculated based on cone angles across trunnion quadrants. This was carried out using a coordinate measuring machine that digitised each trunnion surface. Stems were compared to a series of femoral stems with the same trunnion design.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>20 of the 24 (83%) trunnions demonstrated corrosion, all 24 trunnions demonstrated fretting. Corrosion scores did not statistically differ with respect to trunnion zone (<i>p</i> = 0.53), while fretting scores were higher in the inferior compared to the superior zones (<i>p</i> <i><</i> 0.001). There was no significant difference in cone angles assessing material loss between stems (<i>p</i> = 0.25).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Evidence of trunnion damage was observed in each stem retrieved for non-trunnionosis revision. Fretting occurred more frequently about the inferior quadrants. However, digitised trunnion shapes were similar between compared stems exhibiting no material loss. Therefore, it is possible that previous reports of trunnion failures for this implant are not a systemic issue, and that further investigation is required.</p>","PeriodicalId":12911,"journal":{"name":"HIP International","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41120788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
