Abstract
Because of several failures by dissociation of a redesigned bipolar prosthesis, a new, dynamic test was developed. This dynamic cam-out test represents a closer simulation of one possible clinical mechanism of bipolar disassociation. The results of dynamic testing are affected by the bipolar design, particularly the locking mechanism that was the problem with the redesigned prosthesis.
