Dual mobility cup reduces dislocation rate after arthroplasty for femoral neck fracture

چکیده
BACKGROUND Hip dislocation after arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures remains a serious complication. The aim of our study was to investigate the dislocation rate in acute femoral neck fracture patients operated with a posterior approach with cemented conventional or dual articulation acetabular components. METHODS We compared the dislocation rate in 56 consecutive patients operated with conventional (single mobility) cemented acetabular components to that in 42 consecutive patients operated with dual articulation acetabular components. All the patients were operated via posterior approach and were followed up to one year postoperatively. RESULTS There were 8 dislocations in the 56 patients having conventional components as compared to no dislocations in those 42 having dual articulation components (p = 0.01). The groups were similar with respect to age and gender distribution. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the use of a cemented dual articulation acetabular component significantly reduces the dislocation rates in femoral neck fracture patients operated via posterior approach.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to describe the dislocation rates, reoperation rates and mortality 30 day and one year following THA with AVANTAGE® dual mobility cup among dementia patients with an acute displaced intracapsular femoral neck fracture. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 2010 to 2014 we identified 20 hip fracture patients with dementia, who have had total hip arthroplasty with the AVAN...

INTRODUCTION Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) is superior to bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) for displaced femoral neck fracture in terms of hip pain, function and reoperation rate, THA has a higher rate of dislocation. The direct anterior approach (DAA) and a dual mobility cup (DMC) are associated with lower rates of dislocation. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes of THA...

INTRODUCTION The rate of cerebrovascular insults is increasing, currently leaving many patients with difficulties to maintain their balance due to muscular weakness and/or poor central control. Those patients are at risk of dislocation when total hip arthroplasty (THA) is planned. Instability remains the most significant issue after primary THA especially in such groups of patients. The risk is...

Although dual-mobility sockets have been in clinical use for decades in other parts of the world, they recently gained popularity in the United States as an option for primary and revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). Improvements in dual-mobility socket technology include articulation with a metal insert impacted into a metal shell and a femoral head made of highly cross-linked polyethylene. ...
متن کاملThe risk of revision due to dislocation after total hip arthroplasty depends on surgical approach, femoral head size, sex, and primary diagnosis
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The effects of patient-related and technical factors on the risk of revision due to dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) are only partly understood. We hypothesized that increasing the femoral head size can reduce this risk, that the lateral surgical approach is associated with a lower risk than the posterior and minimally invasive approaches, and that g...
