Why is the Proprietary Blend of Metals in the Stryker Rejuvenate Causing Problems?

The Stryker Rejuvenate and ABGII hip implant devices are constructed using a titanium stem coated with a proprietary blend of titanium, molybdenum, zirconium and iron.

This coating was believed to resist fretting and corrosion, however research indicates fretting and corrosion continued to occur despite the coating. Once corrosion occurs, metal ions are released into the body.
