Dimensions of Mismatched modular components

[Guest guest]

Hello, I hope those of you in the US have enjoyed some good turkey

this holiday.

I'd like some help finding information. It seems I now have a couple

mismatched modular components installed. My surgeon and one of the

manufacturers say they are close enough not to cause trouble, but at

the same time pathology says there are rather large metal particles

in my joint fluid. And I have so much fluid it is causing problems.

So I'd like to dig a little deeper.

Can anyone point me to where I can find the physical dimensions and

angles of a Eurocone Taper (on the male side of a stem)? Also, where

to find the dimensions and angles of a C-Taper (on the female side in

the head)?

Thank you,

Eddie
