How is there no corrosion or wear with this implant yet there is evidence of this in human patients? Is it an electrochemical difference?

This is an old discussion, but I have an update for more clarity. This is in regards to the implant I posted. People just throw medical trash at me so I've got more clarity on this. Obviously there's extreme PEEK wear.

The degree of peri-implant osteolysis induced by PEEK, CoCrMo, and HXLPE wear particles

So I`ll just leave these here. TLDR: PEEK particles and osteolysis. That implant was removed for loosening blamed on the dog doubling his weight, but remember he's lucky he was given a hip at all and not put down.

Here's where it gets interesting. How is there no corrosion after 8 years? Where's the galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metal?

Here's the manufacturer. I couldn't tell metallurgy until I learned the manufacturer

The decision to make a one-piece stem and head

BOOM! It's a one piece all Titanium The only other material was PEEK.

Aseptic loosening is caused by osteolysis caused by poly wear and debris particles.

I think this loosened in the cup where PEEK attempts to fuse to bone. Could be wrong.
