Cementation of a dual mobility cup into an existing well-fixed metal-shell: A reliable option to manage wear-related recurrent dislocation in patients with high surgical risk
Journal of Arthroplasty May 15, 2020
Wegrzyn J, Saugy CA, Guyen O, et al. - In this research, the outcome of a “double-socket” technique performed with a cemented dual mobility cup in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) for late instability was explored. Researchers conducted 28 revision THA (28 patients) for wear-related recurrent dislocation using a “double-socket” technique with a cemented dual mobility cup and retrospectively reviewed. This study's findings reveal that “double-socket” procedure with a dual mobility cup cemented into an existing well-fixed and well-positioned metal-shell ensured a straightforward and blood sparing revision technique that was efficient to restore stability and serve a secure acetabular construct in frail patients with high surgical risk and/or older than their natural life expectancy.
