- This study investigates material loss at the modular taper interface of commonly used metal-on-metal hip replacements and benchmarks their performance against the metal-on-UHMWPE versions of the same implant. This is the first study of its kind to compare the performance of tapers of different bearing types of the same design whilst providing a validation framework for assessment of the measurement accuracy. The study has contributed directly to the development of standardisation efforts through the author’s ensuing work with ASTM Committee F04 Medical Devices and resulting ASTM F3129-16 Standard Characterization of Material Loss from Conical Taper Junctions in Total Joint Prostheses
