Cobalt Chrome Humeral Head Retrievals

Our lab has developed a scoring methodology for assessing macroscopic wear on cobalt chrome (CoCr) humeral head retrievals establish a more thorough understanding of the tribological effects of Total Shoulder Replacements (TSRs) within the joint space. Current work involves the continued collection of bearing surface damage for over 100 implants in our database to perform a robust statistical analysis that correlates damage types and clinical/patient data.
