| Parameters | Fretting | Corrosion |
|---|---|---|
| Materials of articulation | Depends on the materials | Depends on the materials |
| Load & torque | Positive correlation | Positive correlation |
| Femoral head diameter | Positive correlation | Positive correlation |
| Assembly compression force | Negative correlation | Negative correlation |
| Implantation time | Positive correlation | Positive correlation |
