Abstract
Management of implant corrosion remains a challenge for the revision arthroplasty surgeon. Our field continues to gain insight in to how to manage this clinical scenario but there are still gaps in what is known to be considered to be the standard of care. There is a significant amount of effort going in to determining the best means of managing this issue but more work is needed. There is no doubt more studies are needed to further delineate the appropriate treatment algorithms for this clinical problem.
