Corrosion of modular tapers is increasingly recognized as a source of adverse tissue reaction (ALTR) and revision surgery in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The incidence of corrosion and rate of revision for ALTR may differ among different types of implants. The objective of this study was to determine if a difference exists in rate of THA revision for corrosion and ALTR with tapered broach only stems compared to ream-broach femoral stems.INTRODUCTION
