Abstract

Trunnionosis is widely known as a possible cause of failure following total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although factors such as mechanical stress, corrosion and specific implant designs may contribute to the development of trunnionosis, the actual cause of the condition remains still unknown. Orthopedic surgeons have become more aware of trunnion failure due to the increasing rate of soft tissue reactions occurring in patients undergoing THA. This multifactorial condition should be investigated further and physicians should also consider trunnionosis in patients suffering from chronic hip pain after THA.
