Abstract:
We report on 5 cases that underwent revision for locking ring failure in the Duraloc product line (DePuy, Warsaw, Ind). All liner retrievals showed signs of posterior neck/liner impingement and superior edge loading or significant wear. In these cases, we believe superior head migration and neck/liner impingement due to cup anteversion contributed to these locking ring failures. More research is needed to determine the incidence of this complication. Patients with locking ring failures should be closely monitored. Full cup revision, face-changing liners, or cementing liners into well-fixed cups are all options to correct suboptimal cup positioning.

Self-Locking Screw
A square-threaded screw jack carrying a load is considered self-locking if the screw retains its position even after the moment applied to it is removed.

Steel Fastening Techniques
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.
