Increasing the assembly force can reduce relative motion and corrosion but may also damage surrounding tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of increasing the impaction energy and the stiffness of the impactor tool on the stability of the taper junction and on the forces transmitted through the patient's surrounding tissues.en2046-375820182196204British Editorial Soc. of Bone & Joint Surgeryhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Implant failureModular connectionTissue damageTechnikMedizinJournal Articleurn:nbn:de:gbv:830-882.02934210.15480/882.214710.1302/2046-3758.72.BJR-2017-0078.R210.15480/882.2147Other
