Dual Mobility Acetabular Cups in Revision TJA

October 19, 2023 updated by: Rush University Medical Center
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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Dual Mobility
If patients are randomized to the dual mobility cohort, they will receive a dual mobility prosthesis at the surgeon's discretion. All surgeries will be performed via the posterior approach, per the participating surgeon's usual standard. Patients will be on postoperative hip precautions for 6 weeks, per departmental protocol. No braces will be utilized.
Patients in this intervention will receive a dual mobility implant
Active Comparator: Conventional, Single-bearing hip implant
If patients are randomized to the conventional, single bearing cohort, surgeons will use their preferred implant design at their discretion using a 36 or 40mm head, depending on the diameter of the cup and manufacturer specifications. All surgeries will be performed via the posterior approach, per the participating surgeon's usual standard. Patients will be on postoperative hip precautions for 6 weeks, per departmental protocol. No braces will be utilized.
Patients in this intervention will receive a conventional, single-bearing implant

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Complications
Time Frame: 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
up to 20 years after the patient is discharged from the hospital
Routine radiographs assess for loosening and proper component placement
Time Frame: 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.
