Introduction

Corrosion at the modular junction of the femoral component in total hip arthroplasty (THA) was considered as a cause of adverse local tissue reaction in recent years. We reported three adverse local tissue reaction cases after total hip arthroplasty using the same modular neck stem in this study.

Materials and Methods

We have been essentially using the same titanium modular neck stem system and the same combination bearing surface of 26mm cobalt chromium (CoCr) head and highly cross linked polyethylene line for primary total hip arthroplasty since November 2009. Three female showed adverse local tissue reaction and had additional surgical treatment after the THA.
