Influence of the use of an adhesive connection on the joint strength of modular hip endoprostheses
Sandblasted and adhesive-bonded tapered connections represent a viable suitable alternative for modular hip implant connections. Slight differences in taper geometry do not result in reduced push-out forces and are compensated by the adhesive. In mechanically joined tapers these differences can lead to higher wear rates. Further investigation under realistic test conditions is necessary to assess long-term suitability.
