The Use of Dual-Mobility Bearings in Difficult Hip Arthroplasty Reconstructive Cases

This report includes a series of eight cases in which a dual-mobility prosthesis was utilized for difficult acetabular reconstructive hip arthroplasty cases. Most of the patients described had multiple reasons for hip instability (including prior multiple surgeries, abductor muscle insufficiency, prior infection). All patients were successfully managed with this device and this report includes a brief description of its use compared with other surgical reconstruction methods for instability.
