ABSTRACT
A dislocation after total hip arthroplasty is a serious complication that is related to the component position and poor patient compliance. Therefore, the attendants and surgeons need to be aware of the risk factors for dislocations and take steps to prevent them. In addition, the surgeon should insert the components within the safe zone. The patients should also be informed of possibility of dislocations after total hip arthroplasty. Dislocations can be treated conservatively but a recurrent dislocation requires surgery. The causes of recurrent dislocations must be evaluated before surgery to achieve a high success rate.
