Lack of Early Dislocation following Total Hip Arthroplasty with a New Dual Mobility Acetabular Design

Dual mobility implant designs minimise the risk of dislocation without sacrificing range of motion. Between 1st September 2008 and 31st July 2011, 5 institutions examined early clinical outcomes of a new dual mobility bearing hip system implanted in 485 primary THAs in 452 patients. Patient demograp...

Summary:Dual mobility implant designs minimise the risk of dislocation without sacrificing range of motion. Between 1st September 2008 and 31st July 2011, 5 institutions examined early clinical outcomes of a new dual mobility bearing hip system implanted in 485 primary THAs in 452 patients. Patient demographics were 46% female, a mean age of 67 years and a mean BMI of 30. Complications at a minimum of 2 years after surgery included 1 femur fracture, 1 DVT and 4 unrelated deaths. There were no dislocations. For functional outcomes, Harris Hip Scores increased from 41 to 86 (p
