Background: Wear and corrosion at the junctions of modular implants are increasingly recognized issues in the design of hip and knee arthroplasty prostheses, yet less is known about their significance in shoulder arthroplasty. Methods: A query of paired total shoulder implant specimens (eg, humeral head and stem components from the same patient) was performed using an institutional implant retrieval registry. Implants were examined under a stereomicroscope and evaluated for evidence of fretting and corrosion using the modified Goldberg scoring system. Available electronic medical records of included specimens were reviewed to report relevant clinical characteristics and identify potential associations with the presence of tribocorrosion. Results: Eighty-three paired total shoulder implant specimens, explanted at a single institution between 2013 and 2020, were analyzed. Corrosion was identified in 52% (43/83) of humeral head components and 40% (33/83) of humeral stem components. Fretting was identified in 29% (24/83) of humeral head components and 28% (23/83) of humeral stem components. Of the 56 paired implants for which clinical data were available, the duration of implantation (DOI) was less than 2 years in 29% of paired implants and greater than 5 years in 36% of implants. The presence of corrosion or fretting was not associated with DOI, a male humeral head taper, or periprosthetic infection as the indication for revision. Conclusion: Mild tribocorrosion was present in more than half of the retrieved humeral implant specimens. However, trunnionosis did not manifest as a clinical cause of revision surgery in our study. |
