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.

Several modern Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) implants have been associated with increased release of metallic debris through combined mechanical fretting wear and chemical corrosion. These particles can lead to painful Adverse Reaction to Metallic Debris, often requiring early revision [1]. While much research has focused on improving the performance of bearing surfaces, the key parameters driving release of metallic debris at modular junctions remains unclear.

Biomechanic conception of implant choice for primary total hip replacement in osteoporotic femur neck fractures is presented. Criterion for the choice is a localization of load-bearing surface of dense structure in acetabulum roof zone, i.e. sursile. Absolute indications to total hip replacement, use of bipolar and unipolar hemiprostheses are determined depending on the direction and deviation degree of sursile from horizontal axis of pelvis. Based on suggested conception the retrospective analysis of joint replacement results in 58 patients has been performed. The causes of protrusion and loosing of implants were studied.

Since the first total hip replacement (THR) in 1938 by Philip Wiles, prosthesis materials and THR surgical technologies have developed rapidly. In this review, we use internationally-published research to synthesize a comprehensive analysis of the specific characteristics and clinical outcomes of different bearing surfaces used in THR. Polyethylene, metallic alloys, and ceramic have become the three most commonly used hip prosthesis bearing surfaces after decades of hip implant development. Different bearing surface types have varying characteristics that offer specific benefits and risks of complication. A thorough understanding of the unique properties and possible complications of each type of bearing surface is critical to surgeons tasked with selecting appropriate implant materials for total hip replacement.
