Taper and trunnion fretting and corrosion scores according to head size

Head size (mm) Taper fretting [mean (95% CI)] Taper corrosion [mean (95% CI)] Trunnion fretting [mean (95% CI)] Trunnion corrosion [mean (95% CI)]
≤ 26 (n = 26) 2.1 (1.7–2.5) 2.4 (2.1–2.6) 1.9 (1.8–2.06) 1.6 (1.5–1.8)
28 (n = 46) 1.9 (1.7–2.1) 2.7 (2.5–2.9) 1.9 (1.8–2.0) 1.7 (1.6–1.8)
32 (n = 53) 2.1 (1.9–2.3) 2.3 (2.1–2.5) 2.0 (1.9–2.1) 1.8 (1.7–1.9)
≥ 36 (n = 30) 2.2 (1.8–2.6) 2.4 (2.0–2.8) 2.1 (1.9–2.2) 1.9 (1.8–2.1)

CI = confidence interval.
