Retention of Monoblock Femoral Components Using a Dual Mobility Bearing: A Report of 3 Cases
1Department of Trauma and Orthopaedics, Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust, Liverpool, United Kingdom.
Case:
We present the results of 3 cases followed up for a minimum period of 4.5 years of revision total hip arthroplasty using a metal acetabular shell with retention of a well-fixed monoblock femoral component by inserting a dual mobility polyethylene bearing onto the femoral head in situ.
Conclusion:
This is the first case series to use this technique to address acetabular osteolysis and avoid removing a well-fixed monoblock femoral component at the time of revision surgery.
