Abstract Summary
Dual mobility cups (DMCs) dramatically reduce hip dislocation risk in elderly fracture patients with neurological disorders undergoing hip replacement. A review of 588 patients showed only 0.34% dislocation rate versus historically higher rates with standard implants, plus significant functional improvement. DMCs offer a safer option for this high-risk population.
Why Brain? ๐ง
Dual mobility cups in THA cut dislocation rates to 0.34% in neurological patientsโvs. historically high ratesโoffering safer hip replacement with good functional outcomes in this vulnerable population.
Study Limitations:
Retrospective studies were included in the analysis.
