Abstract
We have shown that clinical cold welding is most prevalent in Ti-Ti combinations of the stem and taper; approximately 25% of cases received at our center were cold welded. Analysis of clinical variables showed that it is not possible to predict which will be cold welded preoperatively. Surgeons should be aware of this potential complication when revising a Ti-Ti stem/head junction.
