Hip and knee implants are far superior than those of even 10 years ago. New materials translate to longer artificial joint life which, in theory, opens the door to earlier replacements.

Malseating of modular liners in dual mobility constructs can occur. The possibility of fretting & corrosion at this interface may be exacerbated in instances of malseating. Surgeons should be aware of this phenomena.
