EVALUATION OF SURGICAL OUTCOME OF DUAL MOBILITY TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION;To reduce the incidence of instability anddislocation rate following primary Total Hip Replacement (THR)surgery, Dual Mobility Total Hip Replacement (DMTHR)component has been developed.AIMS AND OBJECTIVES ;This study is aimed to assess thefunctional result and complications following DMTHR.MATERIALS AND METHODS 26 patients who have undergoneDMTHR between June 2018 to February 2020 were included inthis retrospective study. Modified Harris Hip Score was used toevaluate surgical and functional outcome.RESULT ;Out of 26 patients in this study, 17 were males and 9were females. The mean age was 52 years (Range 21 to 81years). As per Modified Harris Hip Score functional outcome wasExcellent in 20 (77%), Good in 4 (15%), Fair in 1 (4%) and poorin 1 (4%), patients.CONCLUSION Dual mobility total hip replacement providesgood hip range of movement and stability and is also associatedwith lower dislocation rate.
