Increased femoral head diameter in THA may produce greater fretting damage owing to and increased head-neck moment arm. There is no associated increase in corrosion with 28-mm and 32-mm heads of this taper design. The longer a THA prosthesis is implanted, the greater the risk of damage due to corrosion.
