Outcomes of Dual Mobility Acetabular Cups in Total Hip Arthroplasty Patients.

CONCLUSION: DM cups were designed with the intent of reducing hip instability. Most studies on these cups have reported on revision THA, where the problem of instability may be more paramount; however, fewer studies have reported on the use of this cup for primary THA. The findings from this study indicate excellent survivorship and overall clinical and patient satisfaction results using this construct. These five-year results are very encouraging and hopefully will portend excellent further survivorship with longer follow up. PMID: 30500976 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
