AI Article Synopsis

  • Revision of metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip resurfacing is linked to high complication rates, prompting researchers to explore dual-mobility components as a surgical alternative.
  • A study was conducted on 18 patients who underwent revision surgery using dual-mobility components, showing significant improvements in pain and function at an average follow-up of 17.5 months.
  • Results indicated that dual-mobility devices effectively reduce the risk of dislocations and other complications, making them a promising option for revising failed MoM THA or hip resurfacing.

Article Abstract

Revision of metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip resurfacing is associated with high complication rates. The authors propose dual-mobility components as a surgical option and present short- to mid-term results of MoM hips revised with dual-mobility components. Eighteen consecutive hips that underwent revision of MoM THA or hip resurfacing using dual-mobility components were identified. At final follow-up (mean, 17.5 months), the visual analog scale, modified Harris Hip Score, and SF-12 scores had all improved (P<.05, P<.01, and P<.05, respectively). There were no dislocations or other complications. Revision of failed MoM THA or hip resurfacing using a dual-mobility device is an effective strategy.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to directly compare the Modular Dual Mobility (MDM) Mobile Bearing Hip System (Stryker, USA) and large femoral heads (LFHs) in revision total hip arthroplasties (THAs) at mid-term follow-up, with specific emphasis on survival free of re-revision for dislocation, any re-revision, dislocation, and the risk of metal-related complications.

Methods: We identified 299 revision THAs performed at a single tertiary care academic institution from March 2011 to July 2014. Aseptic loosening of the acetabular component (n = 65), dislocation (n = 58), and reimplantation as part of a two-stage exchange protocol (n = 57) were the most common reasons for index revision.

Aims: Dislocation is a major concern following total hip arthroplasty (THA) for osteoarthritis (OA). Both dual-mobility components and standard acetabular components with large femoral heads are used to reduce the risk of dislocation. We investigated whether dual-mobility components are superior to standard components in reducing the two-year dislocation and revision risk in a propensity-matched sample from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register (DHR).

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.

Introduction: Dual mobility (DM) total hip replacement (THR) features an acetabular component with an unconstrained tripolar build which ensures a greater range of motion without provoking any dislocation.We report three cases with extremes of surgical misadventure where we carried out a revision arthroplasty with a DM cup. The causes of the failure of the primary arthroplasty were multifactorial, even individually, and ranged from instability due to component malposition, trochanteric fracture, intrapelvic prosthesis protrusion, etc.

Article Synopsis
  • Instability after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a key reason for needing revision surgeries, highlighting the importance of achieving stability through different femoral systems.
  • The study used Autodesk Fusion 360 software to simulate and analyze how various head and neck sizes affect the arc of motion (AOM) and jump distances (JDs) in THA and dual mobility systems.
  • Results showed that while larger head sizes generally increase AOM, benefits plateau after 36 mm, and using modern polyethylene liners can enhance stability; thus, choosing between THA and dual mobility involves weighing minimal gains in head size against increased stability with larger heads.
