A 75-year-old woman who suffered a left femoral neck fracture underwent a left total hip arthroplasty using a Stryker Trident (Kalamazoo, MI) hemispherical acetabular shell and Modular Dual Mobility (MDM) metal liner. Post-operative radiographs demonstrated canted seating of the liner. The patient was taken immediately back to the operating room where the acetabular liner appeared well seated superiorly but was in a canted position inferiorly. Removal and replacement was performed and post-operative radiographs demonstrated complete seating. Subsequent follow up at 6 months demonstrated good clinical function with no adverse radiographic findings. Canted seating is a potential complication of the MDM metal liner. Providers should be aware of potential incomplete seating inferiorly despite the superior portion of the liner being well seated.
