Tribocorrosion is getting more and more popular in biomaterials research. The synergism between wear and corrosion is creating deviations from the expected real-world results from individual corrosion or wear studies. The host body consisting of immune system and dissolved proteins makes them highly corrosive which makes the material selection a unique and challenging process for implant materials. The synergism between corrosion and wear leads to shorter implant life. The research on tribocorrosion has bought an insight into this phenomenon and presented ideas to arrest the premature failure of implants. This review focuses on the recent developments in tribocorrosion research and the effectiveness of remedial actions suggested by them. The influence of materials, processing methods and post-processing treatments are also reviewed in detail.
