Abstract
Dual-mobility (DM) implants have been used in total hip arthroplasty since 1974. Modular DM implants have seen an increase in use in primary and revision total hip arthroplasties given the theoretical decreased dislocation rate. DM constructs have 2 articulation sites, one between the acetabular shell and a polyethylene liner, as well as one between the liner and the femoral head component. However, dislocations with modular DM implant dislocations can still occur. These dislocations occur via an extraprosthetic or intraprosthetic mechanism. Intraprosthetic dislocation is a phenomenon in which the smaller femoral head dissociates from the polyethylene liner. We present a case of intraprosthetic dislocation in an 81-year-old female with migration of the polyethylene liner into her gluteal muscles after 2 attempted closed reductions.

Abstract
Background The use of dual mobility (DM) cups has increased quickly. It is hypothesized that femoral neck taper geometry may be involved in the risk of prosthetic impingement and DM cup revision. We aim to (1) explore the reasons for revision of DM cups or head/liners and (2) explore whether certain femoral neck characteristics are associated with a higher risk of revision of DM cups. Methods Primary total hip arthroplasties with a DM cup registered in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register between 2007 and 2021 were identified (n = 7603). Competing risk survival analyses were performed, with acetabular component and head/liner revision as the primary endpoint. Reasons for revision were categorized in cup-/liner-related revisions (dislocation, liner wear, acetabular loosening). Femoral neck characteristics were studied to assess whether there is an association between femoral neck design and the risk of DM cup/liner revision. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard analyses were performed. Results The 5- and 10-year crude cumulative incidence of DM cup or head/liner revision for dislocation, wear, and acetabular loosening was 0.5% (CI 0.4-0.8) and 1.9% (CI 1.3-2.8), respectively. After adjusting for confounders, we found no association between the examined femoral neck characteristics (alloy used, neck geometry, CCD angle, and surface roughness) and the risk for revision for dislocation, wear, and acetabular loosening. Conclusions The risk of DM cup or head/liner revision for dislocation, wear, and acetabular loosening was low. We found no evidence that there is an association between femoral neck design and the risk of cup or head/liner revision.

Abstract
Dual-mobility total hip arthroplasties were developed to decrease the risk of dislocation and instability seen with traditional fixed-bearing total hip arthroplasties. However, dual-mobility constructs, notably the first-generation design, come with a risk of intraprosthetic dislocation (IPD). These dislocations occur when the polyethylene femoral head component is dislodged, causing direct articulation between the inner ceramic femoral head and the metal acetabular shell. This is different than a polyethylene liner dislocation in a standard total hip arthroplasty. Causes of IPD include polyethylene wear and iatrogenic dislocation from closed reduction attempts. Timely identification is essential to reduce the risk of soft tissue metallosis, raised cobalt and chromium levels, and the need for major revisions. This complication can be seen on imaging, but radiologists must be aware of the various components and mechanisms of failure to recognize this unique complication. We present a case of a dual-mobility construct with IPD between the femoral head components, illustrated on radiographs and CT and subsequently confirmed at the time of surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to investigate the outcome of dual-mobility cup (DM) compared with a standard cup (SC) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the long-term follow-up based on a regional Italian joint registry (RIPO). METHODS The Registry of Prosthetic Orthopaedic Implant (RIPO) was consulted, looking for all primary THAs implanted from 2000 to 2019. Three thousand seven hundred ten were dual-mobility cup (DM) total hip arthroplasties (THA) and 85.816 were standard cup (SC) THAs, on a total of 89.526 primary THA. Demographics, survival rates and causes of revision were evaluated and compared between the two groups. RESULTS The use of DM progressively increased from 0.4% in 2000 to 7.5% in 2018 of all primary THAs. Revision rate was 3.5% (128 on 3710) for DMC and 4.7% (4061 on 85,816) for SC. DM presented lower dislocation rate if compared to SC with 22-28-mm femoral head diameter. However, DM showed a higher risk of revision for any causes than SC with 32-mm femoral head diameter in long-term follow-up. Nevertheless, no significant difference was measured in terms of demographics and surgical approach for dislocation rate. CONCLUSIONS The DM cup represents a valid implant solution and has a lower dislocation rate than 22-28-mm SC. A slight increase in the use of DM implants over time was observed in the RIPO. However, a larger population and a longer follow-up are needed to further monitor the survival rate of new-generation DM implants.

Abstract
Introduction: There is a trend for increasing use of dual mobility hip designs for both primary and revision hip arthroplasty settings. It provides dual articular surfaces along with increased jump distance to increase the stability of construct. However, this design has some unique complications of its own which surgeons should be aware of especially intraprosthetic dislocation (IPD). Case Report: A 76-year-old lady presented to clinic with painful hip hemiarthroplasty after fracture neck of femur. She underwent revision surgery with dual mobility uncemented acetabular cup and femoral stem was retained as it was well fixed. She was mobilizing well and around 5 weeks post her surgery, developed pain in hip region and difficulty in weight-bearing. Radiographs showed eccentric position of femoral neck in the socket. A diagnosis of IPD was established and revision surgery was planned. Intraoperatively, metal head had dislocated from the polyethylene head and both components were resting in the acetabular socket. No macroscopic erosion of acetabulum was noticed. The polyethylene component and femoral head were retrieved. With previous failed dual mobility, decision was made to achieve stability with larger head size and lipped liner posteriorly. Conclusion: IPD is a rare occurrence and unique complication to dual mobility implants. This report highlights that patients can have IPD without fall or trauma.

Abstract
There has been a significant increase in the use of modular dual mobility (MDM) acetabular cups for primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) secondary to decreased dislocation rate and increased impingement-free range of motion. Mating of dissimilar metals in THA can result in mechanically assisted crevice corrosion, with increased serum metal ion levels and potentially adverse local tissue reaction that can lead to revision surgery. In this case report, we present a patient who had THA using MDM components, and his follow-up laboratory testing showed asymptomatic elevated serum cobalt level. The patient subsequently developed an intraprosthetic dislocation that required revision surgery. At the time of revision, significant corrosion was noted on the backside of the modular acetabular liner and the inner surface of the titanium shell. Serum cobalt levels returned to normal after revision surgery. This case suggests that mechanically assisted crevice corrosion at the modular surface of MDM components does occur. In addition, we believe surgeons should judiciously use MDM technology only for patients at significantly increased risk of dislocation after THA.

Abstract
Background With dislocation as a leading cause for revision after total hip arthroplasty (THA), modular dual-mobility (MDM) constructs are more commonly used at present in an attempt to decrease postoperative instability. With modularity, there is potential for additional complications, including malseating of the liner. The goal of this study was to perform a radiographic analysis on the incidence of MDM liner malseating. Methods We retrospectively identified 305 patients (305 THAs) who underwent primary THA with an MDM liner from a single manufacturer inserted by a single surgeon. One hundred fifty-six (51%) patients were male. The mean age was 68 years, and the mean body mass index was 31 kg/m2. Only patients with both anteroposterior and cross-table lateral radiographs at a minimum of 6 weeks postoperatively were included. Dislocations and reoperations were determined at 1 year after the procedure. All MDM liners were routinely tested intraoperatively with a "4-quadrant test" to assess for proper seating. Results Four (4/305, 1.3%) MDM liners were noted to be radiographically malseated at early follow-up with three (3/147, 2.0%) occurring in a thinner two dimentional (2D) ongrowth shell and only one (1/158, 0.6%) observed in a thicker three dimentional (3D) additively manufactured shell. They were inferiorly prominent by a median of 1.2 mm, best seen on the cross-table lateral radiograph. In patients with at least 1-year follow-up, no MDM liners dissociated and no patients sustained a dislocation. Five (1.6%) patients required reoperation unrelated to the acetabular or MDM construct. Conclusions Surgeons should be aware that malseating of dual-mobility liners may occur. However, with utilization of a consistent surgical technique to test for seating of the liner, the radiographic incidence of MDM liner malseating was low at 1%. Although there were no short-term clinical implications of liner malseating, long-term follow-up is needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the imaging findings of polyethylene liner dissociation in total hip arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective search of our institution's radiology database identified 12 patients with polyethylene liner dissociation of a total hip arthroplasty. Clinical and operative notes were reviewed. All radiological studies were reviewed independently by two radiologists. RESULTS Among 12 patients (seven females/five males; mean age: 67 years; median interval after surgery at diagnosis: 8.5 months) with polyethylene liner dissociation, 11 had radiographs, six had CT, seven had MRI, and two had arthrography. "Bubble sign" and "crescent sign" on radiography were insensitive, seen only in three patients, but all showed abrupt eccentric positioning of the femoral head. CT identified the dislocated liner in five of six patients but failed to identify one liner, which was partially associated with the acetabular cup. MRI identified the dislocated liner in all seven patients, with the MAVRIC (multiacquisition variable resonance image combination) sequences either increasing the diagnostic confidence relative to the routine pulse sequences or being the sole sequences in which the liner can be identified if the liner remained partially associated with the acetabular cup. Arthrography identified the dislocated liner in one of two patients. CONCLUSIONS Previously described radiographic signs of polyethylene liner dissociation are insensitive, but abrupt eccentric positioning of the femoral head in the correct clinical context is highly suggestive of the diagnosis. MRI and CT can accurately localize the displaced liner. MAVRIC is particularly helpful if the dislocated liner remains partially associated with the acetabular cup.

Abstract
With the increased use of dual-mobility cups (DMCs) in total-and revision hip arthroplasties, surgeons can expect an increase of known and new complications. During routine follow-up, we observed an asymptomatic patient with an intraprosthetic-dislocation (IPD) and elevated levels of serum metal ions (1.8 ppb of cobalt and 28.0 ppb of chromium). Revision surgery was inevitable. Perioperative metallosis and severe wear of the metal shell and metal femoral head supported the IPD. Literature showed that the modularity of the DMC can result in increased serum metal ions, create excessive wear, and possibly affect implant survival. Our case and review of the literature may form an argument not to consider DMC for primary cases. Furthermore, we advise yearly clinical and radiological follow-up and, on indication, metal ion testing for DMCs.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective was to identify predictive factors for intraprosthetic dislocation (IPD) and to understand how improvements in dual mobility cups (DMC) have helped to reduce dramatically the occurrence of this complication. METHODS DM mobile inserts retrieved from 93 hips were divided into three groups: first-generation DMC with IPD ("firstDMC-IPD"), first-generation DMC with over 15 years of implantation without IPD ("firstDMC-noIPD"), and latest-generation DMC ("newDMC"). The predictive factors for IPD based on clinical, prosthetic, radiological and intraoperative characteristics were analysed by multivariate analysis. The surface of each retrieved mobile insert was analysed using three-dimensional CT scan in order to compare their rim wear. RESULTS Three predictive factors for IPD were found: a high BMI, a wide rough stem neck and a large cup size. Wear of the firstDMC-noIPD inserts was significantly less than those of firstDMC-IPD inserts and significantly more than those of newDMC inserts. For the firstDMC-IPD inserts, the rim's outer surface wear was significantly greater than the rim's inner surface wear. CONCLUSIONS IPD is a specific complication related to wear of the DM mobile insert due to failure of the liner's retaining rim, especially from the rim's outer surface. This long-term issue is different to the early traumatic complication, which can happen after an attempt at closed reduction of a DM THA dislocation. Recent modifications in the design and the coating of contemporary DMC and femoral stems, as well as improvements in the mobile insert itself, seem to corroborate our assumptions about the IPD mechanism and contribute to the quasi-disappearance of this complication.

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
AIMS The aim of this systematic review was to report the rate of dislocation following the use of dual mobility (DM) acetabular components in primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). MATERIALS AND 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, Cochrane Library and Embase (Scopus) was conducted for English articles between January 1974 and March 2016 using various combinations of the keywords "dual mobility", "dual-mobility", "tripolar", "double-mobility", "double mobility", "hip", "cup", "socket". The following data were extracted by two investigators independently: demographics, whether the operation was a primary or revision THA, length of follow-up, the design of the components, diameter of the femoral head, and type of fixation of the acetabular component. RESULTS In all, 59 articles met our inclusion criteria. These included a total of 17 908 THAs which were divided into two groups: studies dealing with DM components in primary THA and those dealing with these components in revision THA. The mean rate of dislocation was 0.9% in the primary THA group, and 3.0% in the revision THA group. The mean rate of intraprosthetic dislocation was 0.7% in primary and 1.3% in revision THAs. CONCLUSION Based on the current data, the use of DM acetabular components are effective in minimising the risk of instability after both primary and revision THA. This benefit must be balanced against continuing concerns about the additional modularity, and the new mode of failure of intraprosthetic dislocation. Longer term studies are needed to assess the function of these newer materials compared with previous generations. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2017;99-B(1 Supple A):18-24.

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 Dual-mobility arthroplasty is an alternative to conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) in appropriately selected, active adults with degenerative, necrotic or post-traumatic hip disease or with revision hip arthroplasty. Numerous papers have been published with results of dual-mobility arthroplasty, but there have been no comprehensive literature reviews that summarise the most recent findings and help the orthopaedic surgeon facing different scenarios in which revision of one or both components of a dual-mobility arthroplasty is indicated. METHODS We performed a PubMed search for papers published on dual-mobility arthroplasty that provided data on revision and add our experience in order to describe different revision scenarios. We collected data on revision for any reason, for aseptic loosening, for infection, or for dislocation. For each complication, we summarise causes and diagnosis of this complication and describe the direction of possible therapeutic options. RESULTS The dual-mobility arthroplasty offers the benefit of increased stability without compromising clinical outcomes and implant longevity. However, as with conventional arthroplasties, complications are also reported, with the most frequent being cup loosening, dislocation, accelerated wear and infection. Dual-mobility implants also have some specific complications secondary to their specific design, with the presence of a third joint. For example, intraprosthetic dislocation due to retentive failure of the polyethylene (PE) liner on the femoral head is a complication observed exclusively with this type of implant and involves articulation failure between the femoral head and the PE liner. Mechanical conflict with the iliopsoas tendon has also been reported, probably due to femoral head size, cup design, and/or a dysplastic hip. This systematic review of the literature identified several options for treating each complication, and in particular, options regarding conserving or not of one the two articulating devices. CONCLUSIONS These findings can inform discussions relating to risks and benefits of different therapeutic options when performing revision of a dual-mobility arthroplasty.

Abstract
During total knee replacement, hinged total knee implants are used in cases where ligament balancing cannot be achieved with less-constrained implants. The case of a patient who experienced two episodes of intraprosthetic dislocation of his rotating-hinge total knee prosthesis is described. There are very few reports of this type of dislocation with these implants. The implant's design, particularly of the hinge, plays an important role in stability. The balance between the flexion and extension spaces is very important even when using a hinged total knee implant. The role of the extensor mechanism in anteroposterior stability is reviewed, along with simple ways to augment it.
