Histopathology of corrosion products in Dual-Modular Neck and MoM THA groups. Dual Modular Neck : A) Large fragments of layered corrosion products with crystal-like configuration (x400). B) Large aggregate of green oxidized corrosion product with plated crystal-like configuration (x400). C) Fragmentation of corrosion material from (B) engulfed into multinucleated giant cells (x200). D) Macrophages containing small and large particles of corrosion products infiltrating the bone marrow. MoM THA: E) Large aggregate of green crystal-like corrosion material surrounded by giant cells (x400). F) Macrophages containing corrosion products with many foamy elements and one giant cell containing larger aggregate, black arrow (x200). G) Macrophagic infiltrate containing predominantly globular particles of corrosion products and irregular black particles of metallic abrasion debris (x400). H) Hematopoietic marrow infiltrated with many macrophages containing green particles of corrosion products of variable size (x200).
