Dislocation, Hip
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to the compare clinical outcomes of patients undergoing a revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the use of a dual mobility bearing versus a single bearing design with the use of a large femoral head (36mm or 40mm). We hypothesize the use of dual-mobility components in revision THA will be associated with a lower dislocation rate in the first year following surgery.

Study design
Intervention model description
Randomized controlled trial with two groups: revision THA with dual mobility components vs revision THA with large head, single bearing designs (36mm and 40mm).
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Any patient older than 18 years of age scheduled for a revision THA, including revision of both components, conversion of a hip resurfacing to THA, conversion of a hemiarthroplasty to THA, and revision of single components which allow implantation of dual-mobility bearings. In addition, patients undergoing reimplantation of a total hip arthroplasty following a two-stage revision for periprosthetic infection will also be included. Only patients with an acetabular shell diameter capable of accommodating at least a 36mm femoral head will be included.
Exclusion criteria
* Less than 18 years of age, primary THA, * conversion of non-arthroplasty femoral neck fracture fixation to THA, * patients unwilling to participate. * patients where the surgeon makes the intraoperative decision to use a constrained liner will be excluded.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prosthetic Dislocation | 6 weeks | The rate of prosthetic dislocation between the two cohorts will be measured at standard postoperative clinic visits |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Complications | up to 20 years after the patient is discharged from the hospital | Any peri- or postoperative complications will be recorded, including component loosening, occurrence of intraprosthetic dislocation, infection, periprosthetic fractures, revision rates |
| Routine radiographs assess for loosening and proper component placement | 6 weeks | Routine radiographs (AP Pelvis, frogleg lateral, and cross-table lateral radiographs) will be obtained at follow-up visits and assessed for cup placement, anteversion, radiographic signs of loosening, and component migration. Radiographics will be assessed for loosening in a yes/no way. |
