<p><strong>Background: </strong>Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains a major concern, because it is reported to range from 1% to 5%. The concept of dual mobility articulation was developed in 1970 by Bousquet to decrease dislocation risk. Several studies have looked at the outcome of dual mobility articulation in primary THA and in revision THA.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This is a prospective study of 33 patients undergoing dual mobility THA during 24 months period from October 2017 to September 2019. Patients undergoing total hip replacement (THR) to have dual mobility cup (DMC) were those at high risk of dislocation. Patients were followed up for a mean period of 18 months.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Results: </strong>33 patients (mean age 67 years) underwent DMC THA. 27 patients underwent primary hip replacement. The follow-up of our cases has ranged from 13 months to 3 years with a mean follow-up of 18 months. none of the patients had hip dislocation.</p><p><strong>Conclusions</strong>: The DMC is an effective solution for the management of high-risk cases undergoing total hip replacement to reduce the incidence of postoperative instability.</p>

SummaryAn eight-year-old male English Setter was referred for management of a dislocation of a cemented dual mobility canine total hip prosthesis that occurred four months after the initial surgery. Revision surgery showed that the dislocation was associated with fracture of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene liner. The dislocation was successfully reduced after replacing the liner. A dual mobility acetabular component is composed of a mobile polyethylene liner inside a metallic cemented cup. Chronic wear of the components of a canine dual mobility total hip replacement has not been described previously. The use of this type of implant is fairly recent and limited long term follow-up of the implanted cases may be the explanation. Acute rupture of a polyethylene liner has never been described in humans, the only case of rupture of a polyethylene liner occurred 10 years after implantation. The case presented here of rupture of the polyethylene liner of a dual mobility total hip replacement is a hitherto unreported failure mode in this model of acetabular cup in the dog.

Introduction: Current guidelines recommend treating displaced femoral neck fractures with a total hip replacement in fit and active elderly patients. Dislocation remains the main complication. Dual-mobility cup (DMC) hip replacements maybe a solution to decrease dislocation, with the benefit of increasing stability, achieving better range of motion and functional outcomes. Patients and methods: This is a prospective randomised controlled trial which included 62 patients with Garden III and IV femoral neck fractures. The mean age was 67.2 years. 30 males and 32 females were included, randomised and allocated to 2 treatment groups; a cemented DMC replacement group, or a cemented 32-mm head total hip replacement (THR). The posterior approach was used in all patients. Postoperative functional outcome was assessed using Harris Hip Score (HHS). Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed using the SF-36 questionnaire. Results: The mean HHS for the DMC group at 4, 6 and 12 months were higher than mean HHS scores for the THR group ( p < 0.001). The range of motion at 1 year was statistically better in the DMC group compared to the THR group ( p < 0.001). The DMC showed a statistically better effect on the HRQoL measurements as compared to the THR group. There were no dislocations in both groups. Conclusions: DMC hip replacements provide better functional, patient reported outcomes, and range of motion than the conventional THR. Combined with its stability, DMC replacements are a useful solution in managing femoral neck fractures in active elderly patients. Trial serial number 020841 (IRB Number 00007555).

Abstract Background The separate design concepts of dual-mobility cups and triple-taper femoral stems were developed to improve survivorship following total hip replacement (THR) by reducing instability/dislocation and enabling enhanced fixation. Successful outcomes at over two decades have been reported with earlier-generation devices based on these concepts. The current study aimed to provide the first long-term results with a unique pairing of later-generation dual-mobility cup and triple-taper cementless femoral stem after a decade of use in patients undergoing THR. Methods In this retrospective analysis, records were reviewed for all subjects implanted with this dual-mobility cup/cementless femoral stem combination at three centers between 2002 and 2005. Any subject who had not already had follow-up visit beyond 10 years, was not previously revised, and still living were invited for a single follow-up visit consisting of Merle d’Aubgine Scores, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) index, and standard radiographs. Results There were 244 THRs available for analysis. At a mean follow-up of 11.9 years, the Kaplan-Meier survivorship (endpoint: revision for any reason) was 99.1% (95% CI, 97.6–99.7) for the stem and 95.9% (95% CI, 93.1–97.6) for the cup. Merle d’Aubigne Scores were significantly improved from baseline and WOMAC scores were in the satisfactory range at the final follow-up. Radiographic analysis revealed no cases of stem subsidence, no cases of bone hypertrophy, 1 (0.4%) case of bone atrophy, and 3 (1.2%) cases of osteolysis around the stem. No subjects had radiolucent lines greater than 1 mm in any femoral Gruen zone. Evidence of cup migration was seen in 1 (0.4%) subject and 1 (0.4%) subject had evidence of osteolysis that was seen in Gruen zones I, II, IV, and V. Conclusions This combination of a later-generation dual-mobility cup and cementless triple-taper stem was associated with excellent survivorship and satisfactory functional outcomes at over 10 years follow-up. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02648152. Date of registration: January 6, 2016. Retrospectively registered.

Modular dual-mobility (MDM) constructs can be used to reduce dislocation rates after total hip replacement (THR). However, there are concerns about adverse reaction to metal debris (ARMD) as a result of fretting corrosion between the metal liner and shell. This systematic review reports outcomes following THR using MDM components. It was registered with PROSPERO and conducted in line with Cochrane and PRISMA recommendations. Sixteen articles were included overall, with meta-analysis performed on relevant subsets using a random intercept logistic regression model. Estimated median incidence of ARMD requiring revision surgery within study follow-up period was 0.3% (95% CI 0.1 – 1.8%, from 11 cohort studies containing 1312 cases). Serum metal ion levels were mildly raised in 7.9% of cases, and significantly raised in 1.8%, but there was no correlation with worse clinical hip function scores within studies. Dislocation rate was 0.8%. Revision rate was 3.3%. There are mixed reports of wear on the backside of the metal liner from the acetabular shell and screw heads. Both implant design and component malseating are implicated, but currently it is unclear to what extent each factor is responsible. Studies were poor quality with high risk of confounding, especially from trunnion corrosion. We have made recommendations for further work. In the meantime, surgeons should be aware of the potential risk of ARMD when considering using an MDM prosthesis, and, if selecting one, must ensure proper seating of the liner and screws intraoperatively.
