English term or phrase: taper/trunnion connection
Poniżej podaję przykłady zdań, w których ten termin występuje. Zaznaczam, że w tekście występuje również termin "stem" oznaczający trzon (implantu), a więc słowo "trunnion", które również bywa tłumaczone jako trzon, nie powinno brzmieć tak samo.

The overall consensus is that MoM hip resurfacing should not be banned and should be viewed separately from MoM total hip arthroplasty (THA) with a large diameter head because of the different design and wear behaviour related to the taper/trunnion connection.

Regarding MoM total hip arthroplasties, safe upper limits have not been established yet since the problem is more often corrosion in confined spaces such as modular taper/trunnion connections as opposed to wear.

After discussion of the frequently seen taper-trunnion wear and corrosion problems (9) and associated high incidence of ALTR with MoM THA with large diameter heads, 67% of surgeons advocated a complete stop of the use of these prostheses.

Similar concerns were put forward regarding taper-trunnion connections in large diameter head metal on (cross-linked) polyethylene in certain designs and even with large diameter head ceramic heads (today up to 48 mm) with metal sleeves (39%).
