Corrosion at modular taper junctions has been a known phenomenon for the last 30 years. Interestingly the first paper addressing the issue came to the conclusion that ‘there should be no occurrence of long-term in-vivo fretting corrosion’ of heads

Introduction Since the introduction of the radial head prosthesis (RHP) in 1941, 1 many alterations in designs and materials have been proposed and tried that have varied in terms of material, fixation technique, modularity, and polarity
