What is it about?
This paper was the first to identify taper junction failure as the prime driver of the failure of large diameter metal on metal THRs. It also described a failure rate of the ASR XL far greater than was reported at the time by national joint registries. The paper's findings would in time prove to be far more accurate than the registries.
