Increased femoral head size may reduce dislocation rates following total hip replacement.
The National Joint Registry for England and Wales has highlighted a statistically significant …

Background: The use of larger femoral heads has been proposed to reduce the risk of
dislocation after total hip arthroplasty, but there is a lack of evidence to support this proposal …

Background and purpose Previous population-based registry studies have shown that larger
femoral head size is associated with reduced risk of revision for dislocation. However, the …

Background and purpose The effects of patient-related and technical factors on the risk of
revision due to dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) are only partly …

Some authors suggest the use of larger (36 and 40 mm) femoral heads against highly cross-
linked polyethylene acetabular liners will reduce the prevalence of early dislocation after …

Background and purpose—Recurrent dislocation is the commonest cause of early revision
of a total hip arthropasty (THA). We examined the effect of femoral head size and surgical …

The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of larger femoral head diameters, in
combination with recent practice including enhanced soft tissue choices and various …

The dislocation rate of 3197 Charnley prostheses with 22 mm head in which the surgery was
done between 1979 and 1991 in 2 orthopaedic centers was compared with that of 2875 …

Background Dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a significant
complication that occurs in 2–5% of patients. It has been postulated that increasing the …

On the basis of the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register, which has recorded nearly all primary
hip prostheses and revisions in Norway since 1987, we studied risk factors for prosthesis …
