Comparative StudyPosterior approach and dislocation rate: a 213 total hip replacements case-control study comparing the dual mobility cup with a conventional 28-mm metal head/polyethylene prosthesis.
Dislocation is a frequent complication of total hip arthroplasties (THA) especially in older patients, especially when using a posterior approach. In these cases, dual mobility (DM) cups developed by Gilles Bousquet in 1975 can be indicated to reduce this complication risk. ⋯ Level III: retrospective case-control study.
