RECOMMENDATION: Modular femoral neck implants are associated with increased revision rates due to hardware failure, metal corrosion and adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR). In patients with failed THA as a result of use of a modular femoral neck, a higher incidence of subsequent SSIs/PJIs is expected.
