Introduction. Rings and cages are indicated for use in revision total hip with severe bone loss. Material and Methods. A retrospective study was performed on 37 acetabular revision cases with an average age at revision of 67.8 years. According to Paprosky classification, 54% grade II and 46% grade III. We used two types of cages, Protrusio and Contour cage. We used 23 standard liners and 14 dual mobility cups. Results. The average follow-up was 5.4 years. The mean Merlé-d’Aubigné score improved from 5.48 to 10.5 points (P<0.05). There were 10 nerve palsies, 6 rings that lost fixation, 10 dislocations, and 4 infections. The need for reoperation for any reason rose to 32% (12/37). Success, defined as a stable reconstruction, was 73%. We found that, using a dual mobility cup cemented into the cage, the dislocation rate and revision rate came down (P<0.05). Conclusions. The treatment of severe acetabular defects using bone graft and reconstruction cages is a viable option. The use of a dual mobility cup cemented into the cage could avoid dislocations and the insertion of the ischial flap inside the ischial portion of the acetabulum for further ring stability and protection of the sciatic nerve.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to summarise the performance of dual-mobility cup systems for revision total hip arthroplasty in patients with abductor-trochanteric complex deficiency. Methods: We prospectively followed 17 patients (20 hips) with a mean age of 64.5 years (range 33-89 years) who underwent acetabular reconstruction with dual-mobility cups for aseptic loosening in 12 hips, infection treatment as second or single stage in 6 hips, and instability in 2 hips. All of the patients had abductor insufficiency. We evaluated the clinical Harris Hip scores (HHS) and radiographs for migration, loosening, and osteolysis. The survival of the components was calculated according to Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis, and failure was defined as any dislocation, acetabular component or total hip revision for any reason. Results: The mean duration of follow-up was 38.1 months (range 24-98 months). There were 2 (12.5%) revisions for cemented cup migration after 11 months and 19 months respectively. There were no dislocations. At the last follow-up, the mean HHS increased from 42 points preoperatively to 86 points. The cumulative survival rate of the dual-mobility cup system was 93% (95% confidence interval 88-98.7%) at 5 years, with any revision as the end point. Conclusion: Dual-mobility cups may provide excellent stability in patients with abductor-trochanteric complex insufficiency.

AbstractModular dual mobility cups have been developed to potentially address postoperative hip instability, which can occur in nearly 20% of all revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. By having a prosthetic construct that contains two points of articulation between the femoral head and liner and between the liner and shell, joint stability can be increased. The purpose of this study was to report on dual mobility cup survivorships, patient satisfaction outcomes, complications, and radiographic outcomes at a minimum 7-year follow-up. A high-volume academic surgeon performed a total of 143 consecutive dual mobility primary THAs on patients who had a minimum follow-up of 7 years (range, 7–8.5 years). The study cohort consisted of 77 females (54%) and 66 males (46%) who had a mean age of 65 years (range, 34–90 years). Aseptic, septic, and all-cause survivorship was determined by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Harris Hip Scores (HHS), postoperative complications, and radiographs were also assessed. No cup failures were observed. Overall, septic survivorship was 99.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.98–1.0) and all-cause survivorship was 98.6% (95% CI: 0.97–1.0). Two patients (1.4%) required revision surgery unrelated to the use of a modular dual mobility cup. Of these, one patient experienced femoral stem loosening and the other developed a periprosthetic infection that was treated with a two-stage revision. The mean total HHS was above 95 points at the most recent follow-up. Three patients (2.3%) experienced medical complications, including two deep vein thromboses and one for nonfatal pulmonary embolism. Radiographic evidence revealed incomplete seating of the metallic liner in one patient. Dual mobility cups were developed in an attempt to decrease the rate of instability following THA. The results from this study indicate that excellent clinical and patient-reported outcomes can be achieved at 7-year follow-up in patients who undergo THA with a dual mobility cup. Therefore, dual mobility cups appear to be an appropriate treatment option for primary THA.

Abstract Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered one of the most successful surgical procedures providing pain relief and improvement of function in patients with end-stage hip arthritis that does not respond to non-operative treatments. As health care continues to improve and life expectancy increases, the demand for total joint replacement will grow to reflect this more active, aging population. Objectives This study aims to review early complications of dual mobility cup arthroplasty. The objective is to perform a systematic review of early complications of dual mobility cup arthroplasty for primary and revision cases. Methodology Types of studies we will include randomized control trails (RCTs), controlled clinical trials, retrospective cohort studies, and we will exclude case reports, case series studies, cross sectional studies, non English studies. Search results will be conducted to systematic review management software and manually screened for eligibility to be included. PRISMA flowchart will be produced based on the search results and the inclusion/exclusion criteria. We will search the MED-LINE database, PubMed, Cochrane Bone and Muscle Trauma Group Specialized Register, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trails (The Cochrane Library) using the following keywords related to: THA, Dual mobility cup, complications, intraprosethetic dislocation. Results Early complication rate in dual mobility cups is significantly higher in revision cases compared to primary cases, with the exception of IPD which was significantly lower in revision cases. Early complication rate of conventional THA was significantly higher than both primary and revision dual mobility cups. Conclusion Dual mobility THAs are a good alternative to traditional bearing surfaces with long survivorship and low rates of instability after primary and revision THA. The rate of complications which are unique to the procedure, including intraprosthetic dislocation, is relatively low and limited mainly to earlier designs. High-quality, prospective, comparative studies are needed to further evaluate the use of dual mobility in primary and revision THA.

Background Dual mobility cup (DMC) inserts reduce the risk of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). No available research has clearly delineated stability advantages of DMC inserts in primary and revision THA. We investigated: (i) the degree of change in the safe zone of the cup when a DMC insert is used compared to a fixed insert; (ii) the method of selecting candidates for a DMC insert without changing the position of the acetabular (cup) component during revision THA in frequent dislocation cases caused by implant impingement. Methods A model of the pelvis and femur was developed from computed tomography images. The safe zone was defined as the area in the acetabular component, over which conditions for stable range of motion were satisfied. The safe zone was calculated for both a fixed and a DMC insert over a predetermined range of 3-D motion, and the effect of increasing the anteversion position of the femoral component from 5° to 35° was quantified. Results The lowest ratio of the area of the safe zone was about 4.9 at 20° anteverison of the femoral component. Safe zone of DMC inserts zone had increased stability of 10°-15° in both vertical and horizontal directions, compared to fixed inserts. A 5- to10-fold expansion of the safe zone can be expected with the use of DMC insert. Conclusions DMC insert could help to set the acetabular component more accurately in primary and revision THA.

Since its creation in 1974, the Dual Mobility Cup (DMC) has been gaining in popularity, especially in the past decade. This intensive use could lead to inappropriate use and consequently to an increased complication rate. Compliance with conceptual requirements and surgical techniques will prevent the occurrence of complications that can be wrongly attributed to implants. In this context, we feel that it is essential to share our tips and tricks as well as an overview and an explanation of common errors, based on more than 45 years of clinical and research experience. From basic principles, including indications, implant choice and implant compatibility, to surgical tips, in this article orthopedic surgeons will find a practical overview of DMC in order to use it safely and with confidence.

Abstract Purpose Concerns remain about potential increased wear with dual mobility cups related to the multiple articulations involved in this specific design of implant. This finite element analysis study aimed to compare polyethylene (PE) wear between dual mobility cup and conventional acetabular component, and between the use of conventional ultra-high molecular weight PE (UHMWPE) and highly cross-linked PE (XPLE). Methods Patient-specific finite element modeling was developed for 15 patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Five acetabular components were 3D modeled and compared in THA constructs replicating existing implants: a dual mobility cup with a 22.2-mm-diameter femoral head against UHMWPE or XLPE (DM22PE or DM22XL), a conventional cup with a 22.2-mm-diameter femoral head against UHMWPE (SD22PE) and a conventional cup with a 32-mm-diameter femoral head against UHMWPE or XLPE (SD32PE or SD32XL). Results DM22PE produced 4.6 times and 5.1 times more volumetric wear than SD32XL and DM22XL (p < 0.0001, Cohen’s d = 6.97 and 7.11; respectively). However, even if significant, the differences in volumetric wear between DM22XL and SD32XL as well as between DM22PE and SD22PE or SD32PE were small according to their effect size (p < 0.0001, Cohen’s |d|= 0.48 to 0.65) and could be therefore considered as clinically negligible. Conclusion When using XLPE instead of UHMWPE, dual mobility cup with a 22.2-mm-diameter femoral head produced a similar amount of volumetric wear than conventional acetabular component with a 32-mm-diameter femoral head against XLPE. Therefore, XLPE is advocated in dual mobility cup to improve its wear performance.
