Abstract
In revision total hip arthroplasty, corrosion is defined as degradation of metallic implant materials. When corrosion occurs at the level of a modular head-neck interface, it is termed trunnionosis. In this chapter, an overview of corrosion science and risk factors for trunnionosis will be presented and a review on diagnosis and treatment for the practicing arthroplasty surgeon will be shared.
