Foissey C, Batailler C, Rajput V, Premkumar AB, Servien E, Lustig S. No dislocation and low complication rate for a modern dual mobility cup with pre-impacted femoral head in primary hip replacement: A consecutive series of 175 hips at minimum 5-year follow-up. SICOT J 2023; 9:1. [PMID: 36648274 PMCID: PMC9878999 DOI: 10.1051/sicotj/2022050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite its excellent results in preventing dislocation, the dual mobility cup (DMC) is still struggling to be adopted by some teams due to premature wear and loosening reported on first-generation implants. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the mid-term survivorship of a modern DMC with a pre-impacted head and the radio-clinical results at a minimum follow-up of 5 years. METHODS This was a retrospective single-centre study performed on patients who had a primary total hip replacement for osteoarthritis in 2016. The cup was a third-generation DMC with a pre-impacted femoral head. Clinical (harris hip score (HHS)) and radiological (cup abduction, anteversion, overhang, and radiolucent lines) results were recorded, as well as complications, particularly dislocations and survivorship. A minimum of five years of follow-ups was required. RESULTS One hundred and seventy-five hips (167 patients) met the inclusion criteria. Five hips (2.9%, 5/175) were lost to follow-up and excluded from the postoperative analysis. The mean follow-up period was 70 ± 2.9 months [63.6-76.5]. Three cups needed revision surgery (1.8%, 3/170): one for septic loosening, and two for chronic infection. At 77 months, the global survival probability was 98.2% ± 1, and the survival probability excluding septic aetiology was 100%. There was a significant improvement in the HHS from pre-operatively (48.3 ± 6.0 [14.0-70.0]) to post-operatively (96 ± 4.5 [50-100]) (p < 0.0001). There were no postoperative dislocations recorded, nor any iliopsoas-impingement or symptomatic cam-effect. DISCUSSION This study showed excellent survival and good radiological and clinical results of this dual mobility cup at a mid-term follow-up. None of the patients had dislocation or any specific complication feared with dual mobility cups.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023; 143:1163-1174. [PMID: 34636979 PMCID: PMC9957875 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-021-04201-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The complex field of femoral defects in revision hip arthroplasty displays a lack of standardized, intuitive pre- and intraoperative assessment. To address this issue, the femoral defect classification (FDC) is introduced to offer a reliable, reproducible and an intuitive classification system with a clear therapeutic guideline. MATERIALS AND METHODS The FDC is based on the integrity of the main femoral segments which determine function and structural support. It focuses on the femoral neck, the metaphysis consisting of the greater and lesser trochanter, and the femoral diaphysis. The four main categories determine the location of the defect while subcategories a, b and c are being used to classify the extent of damage in each location. In total, 218 preoperative radiographs were retrospectively graded according to FDC and compared to intraoperatively encountered bone defects. To account for inter-rater and intra-rater agreement, 5 different observers evaluated 80 randomized cases at different points in time. RESULTS A Cohens kappa of 0.832 ± 0.028 could be evaluated, accounting for excellent agreement between preoperative radiographs and intraoperative findings. To account for inter-rater reliability, 80 patients have been evaluated by 5 different observers. Testing for inter-rater reliability, a Fleiss Kappa of 0.688 could be evaluated falling into the good agreement range. When testing for intra-rater reliability, Cohens Kappa of each of the 5 raters has been analyzed and the mean was evaluated at 0.856 accounting for excellent agreement. CONCLUSION The FDC is a reliable and reproducible classification system. It combines intuitive use and structured design and allows for consistent preoperative planning and intraoperative guidance. A therapeutic algorithm has been created according to current literature and expert opinion. Due to the combination of the FDC with the recently introduced Acetabular Defect Classification (ADC) a structured approach to the entire field of hip revision arthroplasty is now available.

Abstract
The use of dual-mobility cups has gained popularity in recent years. Thus, surgeons can expect an increase in known and new causes of failure. We report a previously undescribed form of a late intraprosthetic dislocation consisting of a complete breakage of a polyethylene mobile bearing that suffered a dislocation 3 months after its implantation. Two years later, he began feeling anterior groin pain and suffered gait changes. Computed tomography scan revealed an eccentric alignment of the mobile polyethylene bearing suggestive of poly wear. During the revision surgery, the polyethylene was found to be split in 2. Possible causes of this complication are proposed. Our case shows a previously unreported implant-specific complication, so surgeons can identify it.

Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful and widely accepted orthopedic procedures. Instability after THA is one of the most significant postoperative complications. Dual-mobility THA components were introduced in 1974 to overcome the risk of instability by increasing the jump distance. Dual-mobility bearings couple two articulations, namely, one between a 22-28 mm prosthetic head and polyethylene liner and another larger articulation between the polyethylene liner and the metal cup. Dislocation of the polyethylene liner and the consequent direct articulation between the prosthetic head and metal cup is recognized as intraprosthetic dislocation (IPD). This mode of THA failure is specific to dual-mobility implants. Despite the reduced incidence of IPD in modern dual-mobility implants compared to the early designs, iatrogenic IPD can occur during closed reduction of dislocated polyethylene liner-metal cup articulation. IPD requires timely diagnosis and early surgical intervention to minimize the necessity of major revision surgeries. This study presents a comprehensive review for dual-mobility-bearing THA, including the history and biomechanics, and focuses on the pathomechanics, diagnosis, and management of IPD.

Abstract
Instability after total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be a problematic complication and remains one of the leading causes of revision surgery in the early post-operative period. Dual mobility (DM) implants decrease dislocation risk after THA but they come with their own set of complications. Selective use of DM implants for THA in high risk groups can confer the advantages of this construct while mitigating the risks. In this paper, we review the current literature to examine the evidence for or against use of DM implants in various clinical scenarios and provide an algorithm for when to consider using DM design construct in THA.

Tripolar Articulations as a "High Stability Bearing" for Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty: Success Rates and Risk Factors for Failure. J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:2188-2194. [PMID: 32144007 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.02.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2019] [Revised: 01/31/2020] [Accepted: 02/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Unconstrained tripolar articulations have been theorized to increase hip stability. The purpose of this study is to report the performance of tripolar articulations in revision THA and identify factors associated with success and failure. METHODS Between 1994 and 2016, 67 revision THAs were performed with an unconstrained tripolar articulation. Mean follow-up was 5.4 years. Patient charts were retrospectively reviewed emphasizing factors associated with risk of instability. There were 21 patients with neither a history of instability (HI) nor abductor insufficiency (AI), 20 patients with HI alone, 13 with AI alone, and 13 had both HI and AI. RESULTS Twelve THAs sustained at least one postrevision dislocation at an average of 2.1 years. One bipolar dissociation occurred early (1.2 y). Nine hips had a re-revision to address these complications. Survival free from dislocation at 2, 5, and 10 years was 88%, 85%, and 74%, respectively. Survival free from re-revision at 2, 5, and 10 years was 91%, 84%, and 65%, respectively. Patients with combined AI and HI had the worst survivorship free from dislocation at 2, 5, and 10 years (77%, 68%, and 55%), respectively. In contrast, patients with neither HI nor AI experienced zero dislocations. There were no failures associated with bearing wear. CONCLUSION Off-the-shelf tripolar articulations were associated with reasonable survival at midterm follow-up. In patients with both AI and HI, the risks and benefits of alternative options such as dual mobility or constrained liners should be explored as the risk of dislocation at 10 years approached 50%.

Abstract
A 78-year-old female presented with dislocation of a dual mobility hip prosthesis. On standard radiographs after closed reduction, the hip prosthesis appeared to be properly reduced, but clinically the hip was unstable. A Computed Tomography showed a round foreign body, that was in fact a dislocation of the intra-prosthetic implant. This was confirmed intra-operatively during revision surgery. Intra-prosthetic dislocation is a specific complication of dual mobility system. Classically, it's a late complication, linked to the wear of retention area of the polyethylene insert. In this case report we describe an unusual reason of intra-prosthetic dislocation caused by a reduction maneuver of a dislocated dual mobility total hip prosthesis, which to our knowledge has never been documented with Computed Tomography imagery and intra operative pictures. The aim of this article is to analyse the advantages and complications of this implant and to establish recommendations. Dealing with an intra-prosthetic dislocation of a dual mobility hip prosthesis, we recommend attempting a reduction under general anesthesia to avoid mechanical complications. In case of persistent instability after reduction, we recommend performing a Computed Tomography scan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The dual mobility acetabular cup (DMC) was designed to reduce prosthetic instability and has gained popularity for both primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). We compared the risk of revision of primary THA for primary osteoarthritis between patients treated with a DMC and those who received a metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) or ceramic-on-polyethylene (CoP) bearing. METHODS A search of the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association (NARA) database identified THAs performed with a DMC during 1995 to 2013. With use of propensity score matching, 2,277 of these patients were matched (1:1), with regard to sex, age, component fixation, and year of surgery, with patients with an MoP or CoP bearing. We estimated the cumulative incidence of revision taking death as a competing risk into consideration and performed competing risk regression with revision or death as end points. RESULTS There was no difference in the overall risk of revision between the DMC group and the propensity-score-matched MoP/CoP group (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 1.18; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 0.87 to 1.62). Patients with a DMC bearing had a lower risk of revision due to dislocation (adjusted HR = 0.09; 95% CI = 0.03 to 0.29) but a higher risk of revision caused by infection (adjusted HR = 3.20; 95% CI = 1.49 to 6.85). CONCLUSIONS There was no difference in overall risk of revision between the DMC and MoP/CoP groups. The DMCs protected against revision due to dislocation but THAs performed with this bearing were more commonly revised because of infection. There may have been a selection bias toward placing DMC implants in patients with greater frailty as the mortality rates were higher in the DMC group than in the age and sex-matched MoP/CoP group.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND METHODS From January 2004 to December 2008, 188 total hip arthroplasties were performed using a cemented dual mobility cup. 174 patients were available for final analysis. Their mean age was 76.8 (range 54-98 years). The mean follow-up was 7.7 years (range 5-10 years). RESULTS There were no dislocations. Survivorship rates of the femoral and acetabular components were 100% at a minimum of 5 years. At the latest follow-up, the mean Harris Hip Score significantly increased from 31.6 (only arthritic patients) points preoperatively to 84.5 points. No patients had progressive osteolysis, component migration, or loosening on radiographs. 2 patients presented with periprosthetic fractures treated conservatively. 2 patients presented with infection treated without implant removal and 1 patient presented with transient femoral palsy. CONCLUSIONS The results of this consecutive series confirmed the good performance of the cemented dual mobility cup at mean 7.7 years follow-up with no revision and no dislocations.

Abstract
Aims Instability remains a challenging problem in both primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). Dual mobility components confer increased stability, but there are concerns about the unique complications associated with these designs, as well as the long-term survivorship. Materials and Methods We performed a systematic review of all English language articles dealing with dual mobility THAs published between 2007 and 2016 in the MEDLINE and Embase electronic databases. A total of 54 articles met inclusion criteria for the final analysis of primary and revision dual mobility THAs and dual mobility THAs used in the treatment of fractures of the femoral neck. We analysed the survivorship and rates of aseptic loosening and of intraprosthetic and extra-articular dislocation. Results For the 10 783 primary dual mobility THAs, the incidence of aseptic loosening was 1.3% (142 hips); the rate of intraprosthetic dislocation was 1.1% (122 hips) and the incidence of extra-articular dislocation was 0.46% (41 hips). The overall survivorship of the acetabular component and the dual mobility components was 98.0%, with all-cause revision as the endpoint at a mean follow-up of 8.5 years (2 to 16.5). For the 3008 revision dual mobility THAs, the rate of aseptic acetabular loosening was 1.4% (29 hips); the rate of intraprosthetic dislocation was 0.3% (eight hips) and the rate of extra-articular dislocation was 2.2% (67 hips). The survivorship of the acatabular and dual mobility components was 96.6% at a mean of 5.4 years (2 to 8). For the 554 dual mobility THAs which were undertaken in patients with a fracture of the femoral neck, the rate of intraprosthetic dislocation was 0.18% (one hip), the rate of extra-articular dislocation was 2.3% (13 hips) and there was one aseptic loosening. The survivorship was 97.8% at a mean of 1.3 years (0.75 to 2). Conclusion Dual mobility articulations are a viable alternative to traditional bearing surfaces, with low rates of instability and good overall survivorship in primary and revision THAs, and in those undertaken in patients with a fracture of the femoral neck. The incidence of intraprosthetic dislocation is low and limited mainly to earlier designs. High-quality, prospective, comparative studies are needed to evaluate further the use of dual mobility components in THA. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2018;100-B:11–19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual mobility implants are subject to a specific implant-related complication, intraprosthetic dislocation (IPD), in which the polyethylene liner dissociates from the femoral head. For older generation designs, IPD was attributable to late polyethylene wear and subsequent failure of the head capture mechanism. However, early IPDs have been reportedly affecting contemporary designs. METHODS A systematic review of the literature according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines was performed. A comprehensive search of PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar was conducted for English articles between January 1974 and August 2016 using various combinations of the keywords "intraprosthetic dislocation," "dual mobility," "dual-mobility," "tripolar," "double mobility," "double-mobility," "hip," "cup," "socket," and "dislocation." RESULTS In all, 16 articles met our inclusion criteria. Fourteen were case reports and 2 were retrospective case series. These included a total of 19 total hip arthroplasties, which were divided into 2 groups: studies dealing with early IPD after attempted closed reduction and those dealing with early IPD with no history of previous attempted closed reduction. Early IPD was reported in 15 patients after a mean follow-up of 3.2 months (2.9 SD) in the first group and in 4 patients after a mean follow-up of 15.1 months (9.9 SD) in the second group. CONCLUSIONS Based on the current data, most cases have been preceded by an attempted closed reduction in the setting of outer, large articulation dislocation, perhaps indicating an iatrogenic etiology for early IPD. Recognition of this possible failure mode is essential to its prevention and treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to assess polyethylene liners of retrieved hips of one design of a dual mobility (DM) cup liner and two designs of femoral stems to better understand the role of femoral stem design on polyethylene impingement. METHODS This was a case-control study involving 70 retrieved highly cross-linked polyethylene (X3) liners used with ABGII (n = 35) and Rejuvenate (n = 35) stems (Stryker). All polyethylene liners were assessed for evidence of rim deformation and the damage quantified using metrology methods. RESULTS A total of 80% of polyethylene liners paired with ABGII necks had macroscopic evidence of neck impingement resulting in a raised lip whilst 23% of liners paired with Rejuvenate necks had evidence of a raised lip (p < 0.0001). The height of the raised rims of the DM cups paired with ABGII necks had a median (range) of 139 μm (72-255). The height of the raised rims of the DM cups paired with Rejuvenate necks had a median (range) of 52 μm (45-90) (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Our new findings from retrieved dual mobility bearings showed that polyethylene liner rim deformation resulting from impingement with the femoral neck occurs in early in-human function, is circumferential in distribution, and is affected by the stem neck design. We recommend the use of highly polished and non-edged neck designs when used in conjunction with DM cups.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although the natural history of dual mobility has been exclusively borne for 20 years by a single company (due to industrial ownership), the concept has undeniably been very widely popularised with nearly 40 cups on the French market which should be regarded as a weight bearing surface, both broadly and in their own right. However, within the same original idea, these implants are not all identical (design, material, fixation ect.).The aim of this work is to propose a classification of different dual mobility cups by distinguishing between thegeneral characteristics of a conventional cup and those particular to this type of implant. METHODS By comparison with a standard metal-back cup, dual mobility is based on at least one additional interface corresponding to the mobility of the polyethylene insert in the concavity of the acetabular cup called the outersurface. Design, constitutive material, fixation of the cup and characteristics of the retentive insert are analysed through the published results. RESULTS The complications associated, in particular, the intraprosthetic dislocation and to a lesser extent fixation failures undoubtedly condemned the dissemination of the dual mobility concept, as witnessed by the fact that despite the precedence of this 40-year old concept, the overriding majority of publications (more than 95%) have only appeared in the last ten years. CONCLUSION The latest generation of dual mobility cups combines: 1) a cast chrome-cobalt alloy cup covered with a bilayer coating of porous titanium and hydroxyapatite for long-term press-fit fixation to 2) an insert designed to eliminate all of the risks of intraprosthetic dislocation, whilst keeping all of the elasticity properties of the polyethylene, which has demonstrated its medium and long term effectiveness on preventing instability by overcoming other complications.

Abstract
Hip dislocation is a major and common complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA), which appears with an incidence between 0.3% and 10% in primary total hip arthroplasties and up to 28% in revision THA. The hip dislocations can be classified into three groups: early, intermediate and late. Approximately two-thirds of cases can be treated successfully with a non-operative approach. The rest require further surgical intervention. The prerequisite to developing an appropriate treatment strategy is a thorough evaluation to identify the causes of the dislocation. In addition, many factors that contribute to THA dislocation are related to the surgical technique, mainly including component orientation, femoral head diameter, restoration of femoral offset and leg length, cam impingement and condition of the soft tissues. The diagnosis of a dislocated hip is relatively easy because the clinical situation is very typical. Having identified a dislocated hip, the first step is to perform a closed reduction of the implant. After reduction you must perform a computed tomography scan to evaluate the surgical options for treatment of recurrent dislocation that include: revision arthroplasty, modular components exchange, dual-mobility cups, large femoral heads, constrained cups, elimination of impingement and soft tissue procedures. The objective is to avoid further dislocation, a devastating event which is increasing the number of operations on the hip. To obtain this goal is useful to follow an algorithm of treatment, but the best treatment remains prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large-diameter, monoblock acetabular components have been used for both hip resurfacing arthroplasty and metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA). If revision is required, one solution is to retain the shell and use a dual-mobility bearing. METHODS We reviewed the results of 25 revision THAs including 11 hip resurfacing arthroplasty and 14 MoM THAs where a monoblock acetabular component was mated to a dual-mobility bearing. RESULTS At a mean of 29 months, there was one failure, an intraprosthetic dislocation of the dual-mobility bearing. There was a significant decrease in serum metal ion levels postoperatively. CONCLUSION Retention of a well-fixed, monoblock MoM acetabular shell and mating it to a dual-mobility bearing in the setting of revision surgery seems to be a reasonable, low-morbidity option at short-term follow-up in appropriately positioned cups.

Abstract
Though dual mobility cups have gained growing popularity as a solution for instability in total hip replacements, these promising devices are subject to a specific implant failure mode, named intraprosthetic dislocation. We present the case of a patient sustaining such an adverse event. The planned revision surgery was postponed 12 months due to a severe heart condition, allowing a rare opportunity to document the natural history of this unusual complication. The small femoral head was found dislodged in the superior part of the metallic shell and had remarkably lost its sphericity. Severe metallic debris and granuloma were found in the proximal femoral region, associated with major periprosthetic bony and soft tissue damage. Surgeons, radiologists, and general practitioners should be aware of this specific complication, its incidence (almost 5%) and mechanisms (femoral neck to mobile polyethylene insert impingement, leading to rim fatigue and wear of the insert at the capturing area). Diagnosis is mainly based on anteroposterior and modified Lowenstein lateral radiographs of the hip, as an eccentric position of the small femoral head, lying against the concave inner surface of the shell. Prompt component revision should be planned, since delayed management could lead to severe irretrievable damages.

Abstract
The current study aimed to evaluate the outcome of a continuous and prospective series of 61 revision THAs with AAOS grade III and IV acetabular bone defect reconstruction using a Kerboull cross-plate, structural allograft and cemented dual mobility cup (Saturne, Amplitude, Valence, France). At a 7.5-year mean follow-up, no instability was reported after revision. In addition, no failure of the acetabular reconstruction was observed in 98% of the patients with complete allograft osseointegration and no evidence of mechanical rupture of the Kerboull cross-plate and/or loosening of the cemented dual mobility cup. In conclusion, such reconstruction technique demonstrated excellent results at mid-term follow-up in terms of prevention of instability after revision, restoration of the acetabular bone stock, and stable cemented fixation of the dual mobility cup.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dual-mobility (DM) cups were introduced to minimize the risk of THA dislocation. The overall rate of dislocation of DM cups (including both large and small articulations) is controversial and ranges from 0% to 5% in previous studies. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore recorded (1) the dislocation rate, (2) loosening and osteolysis, and (3) subsequent related revisions with DM cups. METHODS Between 1998 and 2003, 2480 primary THAs with DM cups were undertaken in 2179 patients. The mean age was 69 years (range, 19-94 years). This group underwent specific clinical and radiographic evaluation at a minimum followup of 0.17 years (mean, 7 years; range, 0.17-11 years) to assess dislocation, reoperation, osteolysis, and cup fixation. RESULTS There were 22 dislocations (0.88%): 15 dislocations of large articulations (0.6%), with two (0.08%) recurring but only one requiring revision (0.04%), and seven intraprosthetic small articulation dislocations (0.28%), all needing revision surgery. At last followup, mean Harris hip score was 91 (range, 60-100); 2439 cups (98%) showed no signs of loosening; and 141 patients (145 hips) had osteolysis (6%). Osteolysis and cup loosening were more frequent in patients younger than 50 years at the time of surgery. The 10-year survivorship considering revision for any reason was 93% (95% CI, 91%-95%). CONCLUSIONS DM cups had a low dislocation rate in primary THA, with a limited frequency of adverse effects. We recommend DM cups to minimize dislocation in populations at high risk for instability, but they should be avoided in younger, active patients at higher risk for osteolysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The dual-mobility concept was proposed as an alternative to prevent postoperative dislocation events. However, intraprosthetic dislocation (IPD) is a troublesome and specific complication induced by the loss of the polyethylene retentive rim and escape of the femoral head from the polyethylene liner. The factors associated with IPD are unknown as only isolated cases have been reported and do not provide a clear understanding of the mechanisms of failure. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore (1) identified features related to different types of IPD and (2) determined factors related to the timing of IPD. METHODS We identified 81 cases (80 patients) with IPD from among 1960 primary THAs performed between January 1985 and December 1998. To classify the types of IPD we considered perioperative (presence of arthrofibrosis, cup loosening, and type of liner wear) and radiographic (radiographic cup loosening or migration, and ossification) features. RESULTS We identified three types of IPD with the following causal mechanisms: Type 1 was pure IPD without arthrofibrosis and without cup loosening (n = 26), Type 2 was IPD secondary to blocking of the liner (n = 41), and Type 3 was IPD associated with a cup loosening (n = 14). The mean times of onset were, 11, 8, and 9 years after THA, respectively. We found no difference according to the stem design regarding timing of the IPD. CONCLUSIONS This new IPD classification allows clinicians to anticipate the possible conditions they will encounter with revision surgery and plan surgery (cup removal, liner exchange, synovectomy). The implant characteristics and this new classification accounted for the differences in the timing of occurrence. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, therapeutic study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Isolated acetabular revisions using standard cups are at risk of dislocation. The introduction of a nonconstrained dual-mobility cup was designed to improve prosthetic stability without increasing loosening rates, but it is unclear whether the risk of dislocation is reduced. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore determined: (1) if the rate of dislocation in isolated acetabular revisions is lower with a dual-mobility cup, (2) implant survival, (3) patient function, and (4) radiographic incidence of migration, loosening, and osteolysis. METHODS We prospectively followed 33 selected patients who underwent isolated acetabular revisions with a minimum of 2 years' followup (mean, 3 years; range, 2-5 years). In 24 patients a stainless steel dual-mobility cup was cemented into an antiprotrusio cage, whereas in nine we used a hyaluronan dual-mobility revision cup with a foramen hook and superior and posterior flanges screw fixations. We determined Harris hip (HHS) and WOMAC scores and examined radiographs for migration, loosening, and osteolysis. RESULTS There were no dislocations. Survivorship rates of the femoral and acetabular components were 97% at 5 years; the rerevision rate for any reason was 3%. At last followup, the mean HHS increased from 48 points preoperatively to 86 points. No patients had progressive osteolysis, component migration, or loosening on radiographs. CONCLUSION In this select group of isolated acetabular revisions, our data suggest the use of a dual-mobility cup reduced the risk of dislocation without increasing loosening from 2 to 5 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dislocation after THA continues to be relatively common. Dual mobility sockets have been associated with low dislocation rates, but it remains unclear whether their use in primary THA would not introduce additional complications. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore asked whether a current cementless dual mobility socket (1) reduced the dislocation rate after primary THA, (2) provided a pain-free and mobile hip, and (3) provided durable radiographic fixation of the acetabular component without any unique modes of failure. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 168 patients who underwent primary THA using a dual mobility socket between January 2000 and June 2002. The average age at surgery was 67 years. We assessed the rate of dislocation, hip function, and acetabular fixation on serial radiographs. Of the 168 patients, 119 (71%) had clinical and radiographic evaluation at a minimum of 5 years (mean, 6 years; range, 5-8 years). RESULTS A long-neck option left the base of the Morse taper uncovered in 53 hips. Four patients underwent revision for dislocation between the femoral head and the mobile insert (intraprosthetic dislocation) at a mean 6 years; all four revisions occurred among the 53 hips with an incompletely covered Morse taper. CONCLUSIONS A current cementless dual mobility socket was associated with a pain-free and mobile hip and durable acetabular fixation without dislocations if the long-neck option was not used. However, intraprosthetic dislocation related to contact at the femoral neck to mobile insert articulation required revision in four hips. Surgeons should be aware of this specific complication.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of dual-mobility cups has increased because of a low rate of dislocations combined with a 96% 15-year survival rate. However, late cup migrations have been attributed to their fixation (tripod - exact fit with two pegs and one extraacetabular screw) and the absence of porous coating. In a second-generation device, the designs were modified to achieve press-fit fixation and a layer of titanium beads was sintered on stainless steel cups. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore (1) determined the midterm survival of press-fit, grit-blasted, second-generation cups with or without additional screws, compared with original tripod and (2) compared survival of grit-blasted dual-mobility cups with bimetallic porous-coated cups. METHODS From a multiinstitutional trial, we reviewed 2408 patients with osteoarthritis implanted with 2601 prostheses of seven designs of a second-generation dual-mobility cup. The criteria for failure were migration, widening radiolucencies in any zone of the interface, or revision for cup loosening. The minimum followup was 5 years (mean, 7.7 years; range, 5-11 years). RESULTS The 8-year survival rate of press-fit, grit-blasted cups was lower than that for press-fit, grit-blasted cups fixed with screws (91% versus 100%) and for tripod fixation (98%). The 8-year survival rate of press-fit, grit-blasted cups was less than that for press-fit, porous-coated cups made of the same alloy (91% versus 95%). CONCLUSIONS The data suggested primary fixation of grit-blasted dual-mobility cups should be secured with screws. Porous coating sintered on the convex side improved midterm survivorship. No deleterious effect of metallosis resulted from sintered titanium beads on stainless steel. Long-term followup is required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Intraprosthetic dislocation is a rare complication in dual mobility hip prostheses, which usually occurs after the third postoperative year due to wear of the polyethylene retentive rim. We report a rare and non-described case of a patient who presented disassembly of the polyethylene insert from his dual mobility socket at nine postoperative months, secondary to several reduction attempts of a posterior dislocation of his prosthesis.

Abstract
Long-term results of a retrospective series of primary arthroplasty with the original cementless dual mobility socket (A) and the midterm results with the second generation (B) are reported. In series A (follow-up 16.5 years) 437 total hip arthroplasties (THA) were included and in series B (follow-up five years) 231 hips. The 15-year survival rate was 84.4 ± 4.5% (revision for any reason as endpoint); 30 hips (6.8%) were revised for aseptic loosening. Five THA were revised for dislocation: two early and three after ten years or more. With the second generation socket neither dislocation nor revision for mechanical reasons were observed. The survival rate was 99.6 ± 0.4% (revision for any reason). The prevalence of revision for dislocation was very low in our series. This concept does not avoid wear and aseptic loosening, especially in young active patients, but the long-term stability has been confirmed. Dual mobility can be recommended for patients over 70 years of age and for younger patients with high risk of dislocation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of recurrent dislocation after total hip arthroplasty remains challenging. Dual mobility sockets have been associated with a low rate of dislocation but it is not known whether they are useful for treating recurrent dislocation. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We therefore asked whether a cemented dual mobility socket would (1) restore hip stability following recurrent dislocation; (2) provide a pain-free and mobile hip; and (3) show durable radiographic fixation. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 51 patients treated with a cemented dual mobility socket for recurrent dislocation after total hip arthroplasty between August 2002 and June 2005. The mean age at the time of the index procedure of was 71.3 years. Of the 51 patients, 47 have had complete clinical and radiographic evaluation data at a mean followup of 51.4 months (range, 25-76.3 months). RESULTS The cemented dual mobility socket restored complete stability of the hip in 45 of the 47 patients (96%). The mean Merle d'Aubigné hip score was 16 ± 2 at the latest followup. Radiographic analysis revealed no or radiolucent lines less than 1 mm thick located in a single acetabular zone in 43 of 47 hips (91.5%). The cumulative survival rate of the acetabular component at 72 months using revision for dislocation and/or mechanical failure as the end point was 96% ± 4% (95% confidence interval, 90%-100%). CONCLUSIONS A cemented dual mobility socket was able to restore hip stability in 96% of recurrent dislocating hips. However, longer-term followup is needed to ensure that dislocation and loosening rates will not increase.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dual mobility cups are especially indicated in total hip replacement revision, the risk of recurrent instability being greater than in primary surgery. In revision, however, primary cup fixation is uncertain without routine anchoring screws. HYPOTHESIS The stability of dual mobility cups impacted without cement, supplementary screw(s) or anchoring pegs fixation is satisfactory in total hip arthroplasty acetabular component revision, and prevents instability accidents. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty three patients were operated on by the same surgeon between January 1999 and December 2006 and prospectively followed up to a mean 4 1/2 years (range,2-10 yrs). A Collégia cup (Wright Medical France, Créteil, France) was impacted in 23 total hip arthroplasty acetabular component revisions, including 17 cases of SOFCOT grade-1 bone-stock loss and six of grade 2. RESULTS There were six clinically poor results on the Merle D'Aubigné scale. One case of early migration occurred, in a multioperated acetabulum. There was one isolated dislocation and one recurrent dislocation associated with loose greater trochanter nonunion, but tolerated as it was infrequent. DISCUSSION This option simplifies revision surgery and limits the risk of dislocation if the abductor muscles unit is continuous. It is indicated when local bone-site compromise encompass a wall-contained cavitary defect at most. A medial wall defect, if moderate, does not in our view preclude using a primary cup, impacted with a certain degree of protrusion. Longer-term follow-up will be needed to confirm these medium-term findings. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV. Prospective non comparative therapeutic study.
