This study reports the mid-term results of a large-bearing hybrid metal-on-metal total hip
replacement in 199 hips (185 patients) with a mean follow-up of 62 months (32 to 83). Two …

Background Dislocation after revision THA is a common complication. Large heads have the
potential to decrease dislocation rate, but it is unclear whether they do so in revision THA …

The dislocating hip is functionally impairing and leads to patient dissatisfaction. The etiology
is multifactorial and may include component malpositioning, soft tissue laxity, and …

Background: Highly cross-linked polyethylene was introduced for clinical use in total hip
arthroplasty with the expectation that it would exhibit less wear when compared with …

THA revisions using standard cups are at risk of dislocation (5.1% to 14.4% incidence),
especially in patients over 70 years of age. Constrained tripolar cups have reduced this risk …
