Outcomes for cemented dual mobility cup to treat recurrent instability; A UK case series.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Recurrent dislocation of Total Hip Replacement (THR) is often multifactorial and remains a significant surgical challenge with a significant risk of further instability. Dual Mobility Cups (DMC) have been used widely with good long term results in France with few studies in the British literature, especially assessing their use for recurrent instability. We set out to assess whether recurrent instability can be successfully treated solely with revision of acetabular component to a dual mobility cup.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed a prospectively collected electronic database for all consecutive dual mobility cups implanted to address recurrently instability in THR. Radiological and clinical data have been analysed.

Results

From September 2013 to Septem
