Background: Obesity has been consistently proven to be associated with an increased risk of dislocation following total hip arthroplasty (THA). As the prevalence of obesity continues to rise globally, it is of vital importance to minimise risks, including dislocation rates, in these patients undergoing THA.
Methods: We describe a series of patients with obesity, morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 40) and super-obesity (BMI ≥ 50) undergoing THA at our institution over a 10-year period using a dual-mobility acetabular cup.

This case highlights the multifaceted challenges of managing aplastic anemia, especially when complicated by non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI). The patient's clinical course underscores the importance of a conservative, multidisciplinary approach in balancing the risks of invasive procedures with the need for effective diagnostics and treatment. Recognizing the risks associated with pancytopenia, including life-threatening bleeding and infections, is critical in managing such patients.
