Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA) is common. Improved surgical techniques, especially posterior soft-tissue repair, reduce dislocation risk, with various interventions available for management.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Dislocation is a frequent complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA).
  • Risk factors encompass patient-related issues (neuromuscular/cognitive disorders, non-compliance, prior surgery) and surgical factors (approach, soft-tissue tension, component positioning, impingement, head size, liner profile, surgeon experience).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the risk factors and management strategies for dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA).
  • To highlight recent advancements in surgical repair and revision options for THA instability.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature on total hip arthroplasty (THA) complications, focusing on dislocation.
  • Analysis of risk factors, including patient characteristics and surgical techniques.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic approaches (history, physical exam, radiography) and treatment interventions (closed reduction, non-surgical management, revision surgery).

Main Results:

  • Improvements in posterior soft-tissue repair techniques have demonstrated a reduction in THA dislocation incidence.
  • Closed reduction and non-surgical management are often successful in preventing recurrence.
  • Revision strategies should address underlying causes, such as soft-tissue laxity or component malpositioning.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of THA dislocation involves identifying risk factors and selecting appropriate interventions.
  • Surgical advancements, particularly in soft-tissue repair, are crucial for reducing dislocation rates.
  • Revision options, including soft-tissue augmentation and component correction, are effective when conservative measures fail.
