This study identified increased femoral head and stem offset and the use of Ti-12Mo-6Zr-2Fe alloy stems as risk factors for clinically relevant ALTR due to head-neck taper corrosion in MoP THA patients. This provides evidenced-based practical information for surgeons in identifying "at-risk" symptomatic MoP THA patients with head-neck taper corrosion for systematic risk stratification.
