Resum

Trunnionosis is defined as wear of the femoral head-neck interface, has recently been acknowledged as a cause of total hip arthroplasty failure. It is responsible of 3% of all total hip arthroplasty revisions. The exact cause is unknown, however postulated etiologies included modular junction wear, corrosion damage, and metal ions. To prevent this, it is recommended to use ceramic heads, use short necks and with low offset if possible, and with heads not too large.
