Abstract
PURPOSE Modular dual-mobility cups (MDMCs) have a lower risk for dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The primary aims of our study were to analyze implant survivorship and to determine complications, especially dislocation, and revision rates of primary THAs used for hip fracture patients and for revision THAs. Secondary aims were to evaluate mortality after MDMC surgery and to find out if introduction of MDMC at our institution (Kuopio University Hospital, Finland) have decreased dislocation rate. METHODS This retrospective cohort study consisted of 101 MDMC patients who were consecutively operated at our institution between April 1, 2018 and June 30, 2020. The implant survival rate, complications and mortality were evaluated with minimum of 2-year follow-up. Finnish Hospital Discharge Register was used to find out yearly dislocation rates following THA at our institution. RESULTS The cumulative estimate implant survival after MDMC in the primary THA group was 97% at 2 years, and in the revision THA group, it was 90% at 2 years. Dislocation was a rare complication in the primary THA group (1.4%), while it was common in revision THA group (12.9%). The cumulative estimate for mortality after MDMC in the primary THA group was 13% at 2 years, and in the revision group, it was also 13% at 2 years. The yearly number of patients who had re-hospitalization period due to THA dislocation decreased 46% after implementation of MDMC. CONCLUSION Short-term survival and complication rates after MDMC were excellent after primary THA and moderate after revision THA. Implementation of MDMC THA for hip fracture patients seems to have effectively decrease dislocation rate during a short follow-up.

Abstract
Fracture Neck of Femur (FnF) is a major cause of loss of independence, morbidity and mortality in a vulnerable group of elderly patients; as well as a substantial economic burden on healthcare systems across the world. An increasingly ageing population has resulted in a rise in incidence and prevalence of FnF. Over 76,000 patients were admitted with FnF in the United Kingdom in 2018, with the resulting health and social costs estimated to be in excess of £2 billion. It is therefore important that the outcomes of all management options be evaluated to ensure constant improvement as well as allocation of resources as appropriate. It is widely agreed that patients presenting with displaced intracapsular FnF injuries are managed operatively; with options including internal fixation, hemiarthroplasty or Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). The volume of THA performed for FnF has significantly increased in recent years. However, compliance with national guidelines on FnF patient selection for THA has been shown to be inconsistent. The aim of this study was to review current literature with regards to the use of THA in management of FnF patients. The literature describes managing FnF in ambulant and independent patients by THA with dual-mobility acetabular cup and cemented femoral component via the anterolateral approach. There is scope for further research in assessing the outcomes of different prosthetic femoral head sizes and choice of bearing surfaces (tribiology) used for THA as well as cementation of the acetabular cup component specifically in FnF patients.

Abstract
Dual-mobility cups (DMCs) were introduced in France more than 40 years ago and are increasingly used not only in hip revision but also primary hip arthroplasty. Due to a simulated large-head articulation and increased jumping distance, DMCs can contribute to a high range of motion in the hip joint and reduce the risk of instability. Numerous studies have reported low dislocation rates and high survival rates in the mid-term follow-up. Nevertheless, long-term data, especially on primary hip replacement, remain limited, and the effect of recent designs and material innovations is still unclear. Therefore, primary DMCs are mainly proposed in patients at high risk for dislocation (i.e. pelvitrochanteric insufficiency, compromised spinopelvic mobility, neuromuscular disorders, obesity and femoral neck fractures). Based on a review of recently published studies referring to these indications, the current study discusses the advantages and disadvantages of DMCs.

Abstract
Introduction Studies comparing the use of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with conventional implants and hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fractures (DFNF) have reported better patient satisfaction scores and outcomes in the former, but also significant dislocation rates (6.9-13%).The total hip arthroplasty with dual mobility cup (THA-DMC) design is mechanically proven to increase the hip range of motion and jump distance to dislocation relative to conventional implants. Despite its potential benefit, clinical studies analyzing the use of THA-DMC in the treatment of DFNF in comparison to conventional THA within the Asian population are still limited. Our study aims to compare the rate of complications and functional outcomes between the 2 implants in the treatment of DFNF. Materials and Methods This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in a single tertiary care institution. From January 2015 to May 2020, data from 129 consecutive patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria and underwent either a THA or THA-DMC for DFNF were collected and divided into 2 groups. All patients received a standardized post-operative treatment and follow-up regime. Both groups of patients were assessed for post-operative complications such as dislocation, peri-prosthetic fractures, surgical site infections, medical complications. Their functional outcomes as well as patient-reported outcome scores were also assessed via the SF-36 score and Oxford hip score questionnaires at 6 months and 1 year. Results A total of 42 patients with dual mobility implants and 87 patients with conventional implants were recruited. There was no dislocation in the THA-DMC group while there were 4 cases (4/87, 4.6%) of dislocation in the THA group. Regarding post-operative function, both groups had comparable functional outcomes. There were no statistically significant differences between the patient-reported outcome scores (Oxford hip score and SF-36) at 6 months and 1 year. Conclusion We report promising short-term outcomes utilizing dual mobility implants in total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of DFNFs.

J Pers Med 2022; 13:jpm13010081. [PMID: 36675742 PMCID: PMC9867154 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13010081] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Instability is a common complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The dual mobility cup (DMC) allows a reduction in the dislocation rate. The goal of this systematic review was to clarify the different uses and outcomes according to the indications of the cemented DMC (C-DMC). Methods: A systematic review was performed using the keywords "Cemented Dual Mobility Cup" or "Cemented Tripolar Cup" without a publication year limit. Of the 465 studies identified, only 56 were eligible for the study. Results: The overall number of C-DMC was 3452 in 3426 patients. The mean follow-up was 45.9 months (range 12-98.4). In most of the cases (74.5%) C-DMC was used in a revision setting. In 57.5% DMC was cemented directly into the bone, in 39.6% into an acetabular reinforcement and in 3.2% into a pre-existing cup. The overall dislocation rate was 2.9%. The most frequent postoperative complications were periprosthetic infections (2%); aseptic loosening (1.1%) and mechanical failure (0.5%). The overall revision rate was 4.4%. The average survival rate of C-DMC at the last follow-up was 93.5%. Conclusions: C-DMC represents an effective treatment option to limit the risk of dislocations and complications for both primary and revision surgery. C-DMC has good clinical outcomes and a low complication rate.

Dual Mobility Cups as the Routine Choice in Total Hip Arthroplasty. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:528. [PMID: 35454367 PMCID: PMC9029134 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58040528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered the most successful surgical procedure in orthopedics. However, dislocation remains the main indication for surgical revision. New designs of dual mobility cups (DMC) have lowered the classical complications and have extended the indications of DMC in elective surgeries. Our aim is to assess the trend of DMC indications in THA as well as the incidence of their dislocation. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing THA with DMC during the years 2015 and 2021. The original indication for DMC included patients sustaining neck of femur fractures (NOF#) and associated risk factors for dislocations. Five years later, DMC was considered our standard of care in total hip arthroplasty. The approach (anterolateral or posterolateral) was chosen by the surgeon according to his/her preferences, as was the implant. Data collected included patients' demographics, diagnosis, admission time, surgical approach, cup models, and inclination and complications. Patients sustaining a hip dislocation were prospectively reviewed and assessed for treatment received, new dislocations, and need for surgical revision. Two groups were created for the analysis according to the presence or absence of dislocation during follow-up. Results: In the analysis, 531 arthroplasties were included (mean age 72.2 years) with a mean follow-up of 2.86 years. The trend of indications for DMC increased from 16% of THA in 2015 to 78% of THA in 2021. We found a total of 8 dislocations (1.5%), none of them associated with elective surgery. Closed reduction was unsatisfactory in four cases (50%). There was one case of intraprosthetic dislocation. Dislocations were associated to smaller heads (22 mm) (1.5% vs. 25%, p = 0.008) and cups (51.2 mm vs. 48.7 mm, p = 0.038) and posterior approach (62.5% vs. 37.5%, p = 0.011). Conclusion: Dual mobility cups are a great option to reduce the risk of dislocation after a THA both in the neck of femur fractures and elective cases. The use of an anterolateral approach in THA after a neck or femur fracture might considerably decrease the risk of dislocation.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the potentially increased risk of dislocation in patients with neurological disease who sustain a femoral neck fracture, as it is unclear whether they should undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hemiarthroplasty (HA). A secondary aim was to investgate whether dual-mobility components confer a reduced risk of dislocation in these patients. METHODS We undertook a longitudinal cohort study linking the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register with the National Patient Register, including patients with a neurological disease presenting with a femoral neck fracture and treated with HA, a conventional THA (cTHA) with femoral head size of ≤ 32 mm, or a dual-mobility component THA (DMC-THA) between 2005 and 2014. The dislocation rate at one- and three-year revision, reoperation, and mortality rates were recorded. Cox multivariate regression models were fitted to calculate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs). RESULTS A total of 9,638 patients with a neurological disease who also underwent unilateral arthroplasty for a femoral neck fracture were included in the study. The one-year dislocation rate was 3.7% after HA, 8.8% after cTHA < 32 mm), 5.9% after cTHA (= 32 mm), and 2.7% after DMC-THA. A higher risk of dislocation was associated with cTHA (< 32 mm) compared with HA (HR 1.90 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.26 to 2.86); p = 0.002). There was no difference in the risk of dislocation with DMC-THA (HR 0.68 (95% CI 0.26 to 1.84); p = 0.451) or cTHA (= 32 mm) (HR 1.54 (95% CI 0.94 to 2.51); p = 0.083). There were no differences in the rate of reoperation and revision-free survival between the different types of prosthesis and sizes of femoral head. CONCLUSION Patients with a neurological disease who sustain a femoral neck fracture have similar rates of dislocation after undergoing HA or DMC-THA. Most patients with a neurological disease are not eligible for THA and should thus undergo HA, whereas those eligible for THA could benefit from a DMC-THA.

Abstract
Introduction: Total Hip Replacement (THR) in displaced Fracture Neck of Femur (FNOF) is associated with higher dislocation rates. Conventional THR with a large femoral head and anterior approach has reduced the instability, but it remains higher than THR done for other aetiology. Recent studies have shown reduced dislocation rates with dual mobility THR (DMTHR) for FNOF; however, there is a lack of comparative research to show its superiority over conventional THR. Further, its role in the Asian subcontinent, where the patient requires sitting cross-legged or squatting, has not been studied. Methods: A prospective cohort study of 103 elderly patients with displaced FNOF with a minimum follow-up of 1-year. Fifty-two patients were operated on with DMTHR and fifty-one patients with conventional THR. Both the groups were matched in terms of demographic data, surgical approach, and postoperative protocol. Radiological and functional outcomes in terms of Harris Hip Score (HHS), Range of motion, Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM), and Dislocation rate were compared between the two groups. Results: Mean HHS of the DMTHR group was 76.37 at three months and 87.02 at the end of the 1-year postoperatively, which was significantly better than the conventional THR group 65.65 at three months and 72.96 at 1-year. The range of motion was significantly better in the DMTHR group than the conventional THR group. There was no significant difference in radiological outcomes and postoperative dislocation rate between the two groups. Conclusion: Dual mobility implants give better results than conventional implants for primary THA in elderly patients of displaced FNOF regarding better function and greater range of motion.
