Introduction The causes for revision of primary total hip arthroplasty ( THA ) are various and quite well known . The developing use of dual-mobility THA ( DM-THA ) seems a relevant option to decrease the risk of instability . Due to lack of long-term follow-up , this innovative retentive concept is suspected to increase the risk of polyethylene ( PE ) wear . the aim of the study was to analyse the causes for  DM-THA revision and assess whether or not its occurrence is different from that of fixed-st and ard ( FS ) THA , particularly for aseptic loosening or wear and /or osteolysis . Material s and methods The SoFCOT group conducted an observational prospect i ve multicentre study from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2011 . Inclusion criteria comprised an exhaustive collection of 2044 first-revision THAs with 251 DM-THAs and 1793 FS-THAs . After excluding complications linked to patient factors ( infection and periprosthetic fractures ) , we performed a matched case – control study ( matching ratio 1:1 ) comparing two groups of 133 THAs . Results Revisions for aseptic loosening or osteolysis/wear were as frequent in DM-THA ( 58.7 % ) as in FS-THA ( 57.1 % ) ( p 0.32 ) ; 7.5 % of DM-THA were revised for dislocation versus 19.5 % of FS-THA ( p 0.007 ) . Discussion Revision for osteolysis/wear and aseptic loosening were as frequent in DM-THA as in FS-THA ;  revision for dislocation was less frequent in DM-THA . This confirms the efficiency of the DM concept regarding the risk of dislocation . Causes for revision were different between groups , and revisions for dislocation were less frequent in DM-THA . Only prospect i ve comparative studies could provide reliable information that may support broader use of the DM concept Purpose Dislocation is a frequent complication in total hip arthroplasty ( THA ) revision . Cup fixation is the second concern . In order to know outcomes at two years , we prospect ively followed a continuous series of 78 patients to demonstrate that  cementless dual-mobility cup ( DMC ) used in revision THA  is safe as regards dislocation risk and bone fixation . Method We enrolled 78 consecutive patients ( 79 cases ) in a prospect i ve study . Mean interval between index surgery and revision was 12.9 years . Mean age at revision was 75.5 years . Two types of cementless DMC were used : a st and ard DMC in 68 cases with low- grade bone defect ( Paprosky grade 1 and 2 ) , and a specific design reconstruction DMC in 11 cases with severe bone loss ( Paprosky grade 3 ) . Results At two years of follow-up , 68 patients were review ed ; four were lost to follow-up . , and six patients were deceased . We identified three types of situations at risk : st and ard risk ( 33 cases ) , Paprosky grade 1 or 2 ; medium risk ( 37 cases ) , revision for recurrent instability ( 21 ) , periprosthetic fractures ( 14 ) or severe loosening Paprosky grade 3 without femorotomy ( 2 ) ; high risk ( nine cases ) , revision for severe loosening with a femorotomy . One ( 1.3 % ) patient dislocated her hip at one month without recurrence . Revision rate for dislocation was 0 % ; two ( 2.7 % ) early mechanical failures occurred . Conclusion Considering outcomes of this series , cementless DMC can be suggested in THA revision surgery OBJECTIVE Dislocation is a well-known complication after  total hip arthroplasty ( THA ) , and is the second-highest cause of revision surgery . Our objective was to assess the effect of preoperative patient education on the occurrence of  hip dislocation  within 6 months after primary THA . METHODS Between 1998 and 2007 , we conducted a prospect i ve cohort study at the Geneva University Hospital Department of Orthopaedic Surgery , including all primary THAs performed via an anterolateral transgluteal approach with the use of a 28-mm diameter head .  The preoperative education session was introduced in June 2002 and included advice on muscle strengthening exercises and postoperative restrictions of range of motion as a means of preventing dislocation . The main outcome was the incidence of dislocation within 6 months of surgery . RESULTS A total of 597 patients who underwent 656 THAs between June 2002 and June 2007 participated in the education session , whereas 1,641 patients who underwent 1,945 procedures did not . Forty-six dislocations occurred over the study period , 5 ( 0.8 % ) in participants and 41 ( 2.1 % ) in non participants ( absolute risk reduction 1.3 % ; 95 % confidence interval [ 95 % CI ] 0.4 , 2.3 ) , with the time interval between surgery and dislocation being significantly shorter among participants ( 0.2 versus 1.2 months ) . Non participants had a 2.8 times higher risk of dislocation than participants ( unadjusted odds ratio [ OR ] 2.80 ; 95 % CI 1.10 , 7.13 ) . Adjustment for age , sex , comorbidities , and prior surgery did not change the results ( adjusted OR 2.79 ; 95 % CI 1.09 , 7.15 ) . CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that participation in a preoperative patient education session may reduce the risk of dislocation within 6 months after THA Background Isolated acetabular revisions using st and ard cups are at risk of dislocation . The introduction of a nonconstrained dual-mobility cup was design ed to improve prosthetic stability without increasing loosening rates , but it is unclear whether the risk of dislocation is reduced . Questions / purpose sWe therefore determined : ( 1 ) if the rate of dislocation in isolated acetabular revisions is lower with a dual-mobility cup , ( 2 ) implant survival , ( 3 ) patient function , and ( 4 ) radiographic incidence of migration , loosening , and osteolysis . Methods We prospect ively followed 33 selected patients who underwent isolated acetabular revisions with a minimum of 2 years ’ followup ( mean , 3 years ; range , 2–5 years ) . In 24 patients a stainless steel dual-mobility cup was cemented into an antiprotrusio cage , whereas in nine we used a hyaluronan dual-mobility revision cup with a foramen hook and superior and posterior flanges screw fixations . We determined Harris hip ( HHS ) and WOMAC scores and examined radiographs for migration , loosening , and osteolysis . Results There were no dislocations . Survivorship rates of the femoral and acetabular components were 97 % at 5 years ; the rerevision rate for any reason was 3 % . At last followup , the mean HHS increased from 48 points preoperatively to 86 points . No patients had progressive osteolysis , component migration , or loosening on radiographs . Conclusion In this select group of isolated acetabular revisions , our data suggest the use of a dual-mobility cup reduced the risk of dislocation without increasing loosening from 2 to 5 years . Level of Evidence Level IV , therapeutic study . See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence Some authors suggest the use of larger ( 36 and 40 mm ) femoral heads against highly cross-linked polyethylene acetabular liners will reduce the prevalence of early dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty ( THA ) . We prospect ively followed 61 consecutive patients at high risk for dislocation to determine the prevalence of early dislocation after primary THA with 36 and 40 mm femoral heads .  We established specific indications for the use of these larger heads in primary arthroplasty . There were 65 hips in 61 patients with a minimum followup of 1 year ( mean 2 years , range 1 - 4 years ) . There were 55 36 mm heads and 10 40 mm heads . All arthroplasties were performed by the posterior approach with capsular repair . The prevalence of early dislocation was 4.6 % ( 3 of 65 ) . There was one patient with an anterior dislocation and two with posterior dislocation . No patient underwent reoperation for dislocation . There was no dislocation in the 10 hips that had a 40 mm head . We identified no complications related to the larger femoral heads . The use of larger femoral heads did not notably reduce the prevalence of early dislocation after primary THA in high risk patients compared to historical controls . Therapeutic study : Level IV , case series . See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence BACKGROUND The use of larger femoral heads has been proposed to reduce the risk of dislocation after total hip arthroplasty , but there is a lack of evidence to support this proposal . The aim of this multicenter r and omized controlled trial was to determine whether the incidence of dislocation one year after total hip arthroplasty is significantly lower in association with the use of a 36-mm femoral head articulation as compared with a 28-mm articulation . METHODS Six hundred and forty-four middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing primary or revision arthroplasty were r and omized intraoperatively to receive either a 36 or 28-mm metal femoral head on highly cross-linked polyethylene .  Patients who were at high risk of dislocation ( including those with dementia and neuromuscular disease ) and those undergoing revision for the treatment of recurrent hip dislocation or infection were excluded . Patients were stratified according to other potential risk factors for dislocation , including diagnosis and age . Diagnosis of hip dislocation required confirmation by a physician and radiographic evidence of a dislocation . RESULTS Overall , at one year of follow-up , hips with a 36-mm femoral head articulation had a significantly lower incidence of dislocation than did those with a 28-mm articulation ( 1.3 % [ four of 299 ] compared with 5.4 % [ seventeen of 316 ] ; difference , 4.1 % [ 95 % confidence interval , 1.2 % to 7.2 % ] ) when controlling for the type of procedure ( primary or revision ) ( p = 0.012 ) . The incidence of dislocation following primary arthroplasty was also significantly lower for hips with a 36-mm femoral head articulation than for those with a 28-mm articulation ( 0.8 % [ two of 258 ] compared with 4.4 % [ twelve of 275 ] ; difference , 3.6 % [ 95 % confidence interval , 0.9 % to 6.8 % ] ) ( p = 0.024 ) . The incidence of dislocation following revision arthroplasty was 4.9 % ( two of forty-one ) for hips with a 36-mm articulation and 12.2 % ( five of forty-one ) for hips with a 28-mm articulation ; this difference was not significant with the relatively small sample size of the revision group ( difference , 7.3 % [ 95 % confidence interval , -5.9 % to 21.1 % ] ) ( p = 0.273 ) . CONCLUSIONS Compared with a 28-mm femoral head articulation , a larger 36-mm articulation result ed in a significantly decreased incidence of dislocation in the first year following primary total hip arthroplasty . However , before a 36-mm metal-on-highly cross-linked polyethylene articulation is widely recommended , the incidence of late dislocation , wear , periprosthetic osteolysis , and liner fracture should be established A prospect i ve study including 1764 hips has been carried out to evaluate the frequency of dislocation while using the Hueter anterior approach and the correlated factors . The dislocation group was compared with the patients without dislocation . We observed 27 dislocations ( 1.5 % ) . The dislocation rate when using 28 mm head diameter was 0.5 % . Two patients underwent a revision for recurrent dislocations . Correlated factors for dislocation were male sex , high body mass index , etiology of osteonecrosis , low head diameter , high bleeding , and low postoperative ROM . Dislocation risk while using Hueter approach is one of the lowest in the literature . The main disadvantages are the necessity for a specific orthopedic table and a more difficult exposure of the femur Introduction Surgical hip dislocation ( SHD ) is an accepted st and ard to treat femoroacetabular impingement ( FAI ) . However , arthroscopic techniques have gained widespread popularity and comparable results are reported . The purpose of this prospect i ve comparative study was to test the hypothesis that , when compared to SHD , hip arthroscopy ( HA ) results in faster recovery , better short-term outcome , and equivalent morphological corrections . Material s and methods 38 patients presenting with clinical ly and morphologically verified isolated FAI were allocated to either HA or SHD . Morphological evaluation consisted of pre- and postoperative X-rays , and arthro-MRI .  Demographic data , sport activities , hospital stay , complications , and the time off work were recorded . The subjective hip value , WOMAC , HHS , and hip abductor strength were measured up to 1 year . Results Shorter hospital stay and time off work , less pain at 3 months and 1 year , higher subjective hip values at 6 weeks and 3 months , and better WOMAC at 3 months were seen after HA . The HHS and the hip abductor strengths were higher in the HA group . However , morphological corrections at the head – neck-junction achieved by HA showed some overcorrection when compared to SHD .  Labral refixation was performed less frequent in the HA group . Conclusion When compared to SHD , HA results in faster recovery and better short-term outcome . However , some overcorrection of the cam deformity and limited frequency of labrum refixation with HA in this study may have a negative impact on long-term outcome BACKGROUND Constrained liners are used as part of a salvage procedure to provide stability for patients at high risk for dislocation after a total hip arthroplasty . However , no recent studies exist highlighting their effectiveness and /or limitations . METHOD This prospect i ve review included 166 consecutive hip arthroplasties , either primary ( 27 % ) or revision ( 73 % ) , with a unique design of a constrained liner : Lefèvre retentive cup . There were 113 females ( 69 % ) , and the average age at index surgery was 75.9 years ( range , 35 - 94 ) . The mean follow-up was 6.2 years ( range , 0.3 - 11 ) . RESULTS Twenty patients had a reoperation ; 10 for infection ( 4 acute and 6 chronic joint infection ) and 10 for cup failure ( 5 fixation failure , 3 aseptic loosening , and 2 dislocation ) . Ten-year survivals for cup revision were 89 % ( CI , 83 - 94 ) and 92 % ( CI , 89 - 97 ) for all revision and revision for noninfectious reasons , respectively . When solely evaluating for dislocation , the survival at 10 years was 99 % ( CI , 97 - 100 ) . Considering primary and revision cases , 10-year survivals cup revision for aseptic reasons were 92.4 % ( CI , 84 - 100 ) and 92.5 % ( CI , 87 - 98 ) , respectively . CONCLUSIONS The Lefèvre retentive cup demonstrated excellent 10-year 's survivorship . With the rate of aseptic loosening around 2 % and a dislocation rate around 1 % , the cup is as effective as other available devices and is therefore a cost-effective tool to reduce the risk of dislocation in at-risk patients undergoing hip arthroplasty Background Dislocation after revision THA is a common complication . Large heads have the potential to decrease dislocation rate , but it is unclear whether they do so in revision THA . Questions / purpose sWe therefore determined whether a large femoral head ( 36 and 40 mm ) result ed in a decreased dislocation rate compared to a st and ard head ( 32 mm ) . Methods We r and omized 184 patients undergoing revision THA to receive either a 32-mm head ( 92 patients ) or 36- and 40-mm head ( 92 patients ) and stratified patients by surgeon . The two groups had similar baseline demographics . The primary end point was dislocation . Quality -of-life ( QOL ) measures were WOMAC and SF-36 . The mean followup for dislocation was 5 years ( range , 2–7 years ) ; the mean followup for QOL was 2.2 years ( range , 1.6–4 years ) . Results In the 36- and 40-mm head group , the dislocation rate was 1.1 % ( one of 92 ) versus 8.7 % ( eight of 92 ) for the 32-mm head . There was no difference in QOL outcomes between the two groups . Conclusions Our observations confirm a large femoral head ( 36 or 40 mm ) reduces dislocation rates in patients undergoing revision THA at short-term followup . We now routinely use large heads with a highly crosslinked polyethylene acetabular liner in all revision THAs . Level of Evidence Level I , therapeutic study . See Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence INTRODUCTION Displaced fractures of the femoral neck in the elderly are best treated with arthroplasty . The type of arthroplasty to be used , either hemi- or total hip arthroplasty , remains controversial as total hip replacements potentially have a higher rate of dislocation . HYPOTHESIS Dual mobility cups have a low dislocation rate when used to manage acute fractures of the femoral neck . PATIENTS AND METHODS In a multicenter prospect i ve study conducted in France over an inclusion time of 3 months , all displaced fractures of the femoral neck treated with arthroplasty  were operated on with insertion of a dual mobility cup . Patients had clinical and radiological assessment at 3 , 6 , and 9 months postoperative . RESULTS Two hundred and fourteen hips in 214 patients with a mean age of 83 years ( range , 70 - 103 years ) were included . None of the patients was lost to follow-up . The mortality rate after 9 months was 19 % . Two patients ( 1 % ) had early postoperative infection successfully treated with lavage and antibiotics . Three patients ( 1.4 % ) , operated through a posterior approach , presented one postoperative dislocation , all of which were posterior . Reduction was performed through closed external manipulation under general anesthesia . There was no recurrence of dislocation . DISCUSSION This low rate of dislocation after acute total hip replacement using dual mobility design cups favorably compares with hemiarthroplasties . Dual mobility cups might therefore be considered a valuable option to prevent postoperative dislocation when treating displaced intracapsular fractures of the proximal femur in elderly patients if a total hip replacement is recommended . Further study is needed before extending the indications for total hip arthroplasty following a fracture of the femoral neck , to assess the potential cost and complications of a longer procedure with its potential acetabular complication , and weigh them against the potential benefits UNLABELLED The outcome of a single design of dual mobility cup was prospect ively evaluated in a continuous series of 994 revision THAs with respect to dislocation and intra-prosthetic dislocation ( IPD ) . At a 7.3-year mean follow-up , the dislocation rate was 1.5 % and the IPD rate was 0.2 % . The 2 IPD occurred in acetabular-only revisions and were related to a poor head-to-neck ratio with early impingement and wear at the polyethylene mobile component chamfer . Dual mobility cups demonstrated a low dislocation rate in revision THA but did not compensate for potential perioperative technical errors . In addition , IPD did not appear to be a concern with respect to the benefit in term of instability prevention though caution is advised in acetabular-only revision associated with a poor head-to-neck ratio . LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic study -Level IV BACKGROUND Excessive early migration of femoral stems following total hip arthroplasty and tibial components following total knee arthroplasty is associated with their long-term survival and allows reliable early evaluation of implant performance . However , a similar relationship involving acetabular components following hip arthroplasty has not been evaluated . This prospect i ve , long-term study with clinical and Roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis ( RSA ) follow-up establishes the existence of this relationship and its associated diagnostic performance . METHODS Thirty-nine consecutive patients ( forty-one hips ) who underwent total hip arthroplasty with a cemented Exeter stem and a cemented Exeter all-polyethylene cup had prospect i ve clinical and RSA follow-up . Patients were evaluated postoperatively at six weeks , at three , six , and twelve months , and annually thereafter . Conventional anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were made at six weeks and at two , five , and ten years postoperatively as well as when indicated . The mean duration of follow-up ( and st and ard deviation ) was 9.4 ± 3.2 years . No patients were lost to follow-up ; fifteen patients died during the follow-up period . RESULTS Eleven acetabular components were observed to be loose on conventional radiographs after a mean of seventy-six months ( range , twelve to 140 months ) . During the first two postoperative years , the failed acetabular components showed markedly greater and more rapid cranial translation and sagittal rotation . Both cranial translation ( hazard ratio = 19.9 [ 95 % confidence interval , 4.94 to 80.0 ] , p < 0.001 ) and sagittal rotation ( hazard ratio = 11.1 [ 95 % confidence interval , 2.83 to 43.9 ] , p = 0.001 ) were strong risk factors for late aseptic loosening . Eight of the eleven failed components showed a distinctive pattern of excessive cranial translation combined with excessive sagittal rotation . The associated diagnostic performance of two-year cranial translation and /or sagittal rotation for predicting late aseptic loosening of the acetabular component was good ( area under the receiver operating characteristic curve , 0.88 [ 95 % confidence interval , 0.74 to 1.00 ; p < 0.001 ] and 0.84 [ 95 % confidence interval , 0.68 to 1.00 ; p = 0.001 ] , respectively ) . CONCLUSIONS Early migration , as measured by RSA at two years postoperatively , has good diagnostic capabilities for the detection of acetabular components at risk for future aseptic loosening , and this method appears to be an appropriate means of assessing the performance of new implants or implant-related changes Introduction The direct anterior approach ( DAA ) is generally accepted method for minimal invasive arthroplasty of the hip . As good results for total hip arthroplasty are already published , there is a lack of evidence for the implantation of bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty ( BHH ) in elderly patients with osteoporosis after femoral neck fracture . Material s and methods For hip arthroplasty using a direct anterior approach ( DAA ) in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures , a number of modifications of the original technique are being described . The modified DAA considers in particular the co-morbidity and the bone quality of the geriatric patient population . A consecutive series of 16 hemiarthroplasties using this technique is presented . In all 16 cases , the BHH was implanted in modified DAA technique . Mobility measured by 4-item Barthel Index , pain via visual analogue scale ( VAS ) , duration of surgery , external length of incision and blood loss were evaluated . Results There was no major operative complication during the procedures . The pain level decreased from 7 ( preoperatively ) to 0 at postoperative day 40 . The Barthel Index increased from 5 at first postoperative day to 40 at day 40 . Early postoperative mobilisation is efficiently accelerated . Mean operating time was 71 min ; the medium skin incision length was 8 cm . The mean haemoglobin level decreased from 118 g/dl preoperatively to 101 g/dl at first postoperative day . Conclusion The described modifications of the DAA help to implant a BHH gently in elderly patients with increasing risk of complications like iatrogenic fractures , wound or prosthesis infections and haematoma . This will hopefully lead to a faster rehabilitation and lower mortality rate for patients with femoral neck fractures in the future Background Total hip arthroplasty ( THA ) is a very common procedure in orthopedic surgery . In the Netherl and s , 25,642 primary THAs were performed in 2013 . Postoperative hip dislocation is one of the major complications and has been reported in 0.5 to 10.6 % of patients after primary THA.Several reports regarding the use of an anterolateral surgical approach have shown that a non-restriction or reduced restriction protocol does not increase the dislocation rate . For the posterolateral surgical approach it has been suggested that patient restrictions might be unnecessary but the amount of available literature is scarce . As such , r and omized controlled trials aim ed at investigating restrictions following THA using a posterior approach are strongly recommended . The aim of this prospect i ve r and omized controlled trial is to investigate the non-inferiority hypothesis concerning the early dislocation rate after THA in patients with and without the use of a reduced restriction protocol . Methods / Design After providing informed consent a group of 456 patients with symptomatic coxarthrosis will be r and omized to receive a THA either with care as usual , i.e. receiving postoperative restrictions including the advice to sleep in a supine position for the first 8 weeks postoperatively , or reduced restrictions with no recommendations regarding the position during sleeping . Primary outcome measure will be the percentage of early dislocations within the first 8 weeks after THA . Secondary outcome measures will be patient satisfaction , time to functional recovery , quality of sleep and patient ’s self-reported compliance with postoperative instructions . Discussion To our knowledge this will be the first r and omized controlled trial that compares a reduced restriction protocol with a restricted protocol following THA using a posterolateral surgical approach . Our hypothesis is that a reduced restriction protocol following THA with use of a posterolateral surgical approach has no influence on the early dislocation rate compared to a restricted protocol . Instead , embracing a reduced restriction protocol might even contribute to a higher quality of sleep , thereby facilitating a faster uptake and return to daily functions in patients after THA.Trial registration Clinical Trials.gov NCT02107248 , registration date 3 April 2014 Purpose of the study Suction drainage in bipolar arthroplasty for hip fracture is st and ard procedure despite the lack of a solid scienfific basis . No study is reported in the literature demonstrating an advantage of systematic drainage . The aim of this work was to search for reasons why this conventional practice should be continued , Material and method es A prospect i ve r and omized stydt in a homogeneous consecutive group of patients hospitalized in our unit for hip fracture were included in the study from January 1995 through January 1999 . Among the 183 patients , 97 were excluded ( hemostasis disorders or anticoagulant treatment , multiple fractures , preoperative anemia with Hg < 9.5 g/dl , postponed operation ) . For the 86 included patients , the posterolateral Moore access was used to implant a sealed intermediary prosthesis . According to r and om selection , drainage was then installed or not . Outcome criteria were number of reoperations , hemoglobin level on DO , D1 , D2 , D5 , and D10 , number of patients requiring transfusion and number of packed red cell units in each group , and finally , temperature as reflecting presence of possible hematome ( DO , D2 , D5 , D10 ) . Results The two groups were similar for age and sex . There were no reoperations for hematoma or superficial infection and only one patient was reoperated for early dislocation in the group without drainage . Twenty-seven patients had transfusions , 14 in the drainage group and 13 in the no drainage group ; mean number of packed red cell units was 2 . Hemoglobin level fell similarly in the two groups in DO ( 2.1 versus 1.9 ) , D2 ( 2.5 versus 2.4 ) , D ( 2.7 versus 2.7 ) , D10 ( 2.4 versus 2.6 ) as did mean temperatures . Discussion We were thus unable to demonstrate any advantage of using suction drainage in bipolar arthroplasty for hip fracture when using more access . This is in agreement with reports in the literature . Exception the simplification of nursing care by not using drains , the cost savings can be considerable in light of the number of patients treated . We recommend that systematic use of suction drainage be discontinued in bipolar arhtroplasty for hip fracture PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to prospect ively compare outcomes of patients receiving surgical hip dislocation and those undergoing arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement ( FAI ) , using a matched-pair analysis . METHODS Between January 2008 and August 2011 , patients aged 30 years or younger with a diagnosis of FAI treated with surgical dislocation or arthroscopy were included . Patients were excluded with Tönnis grade 2 or greater , dysplasia , Legg-Calve-Perthes disease , and previous hip surgery . Patients treated with surgical dislocation  were pair-matched to patients treated arthroscopically in a 1:2 ratio . Patient-reported outcomes were prospect ively obtained in all patients preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 months , at 1 year , at 2 years , and at latest follow-up . Alpha angles were measured preoperatively and postoperatively for both groups . Revision surgery and complications were recorded for each group . RESULTS Ten patients were included in the surgical dislocation group , and 20 pair-matched patients were included in the arthroscopic group . We obtained 100 % follow-up at a mean of 24.8 months in the open group and 25.5 months in the arthroscopic group . Preoperative scores were similar between the 2 groups ; significant improvements were made postoperatively for both groups . When we compared the 2 groups , the change in Hip Outcome Score-Sport-Specific Subscale ( 42.8 v 23.5 , P = .047 ) and 2-year Non-Arthritic Hip Score ( 94.2 v 85.7 , P = .01 ) were significantly higher in the arthroscopic group . Both groups showed a significant decrease in the alpha angle postoperatively ( P = .775 ) . CONCLUSIONS Favorable results were shown with both approaches , with significant improvement in all patient-reported outcome measures and high patient satisfaction ratings . However , arthroscopic treatment of FAI showed greater improvement in the Hip Outcome Score-Sport-Specific Subscale and a higher absolute Non-Arthritic Hip Score at an average 2-year follow-up . LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II , prospect i ve matched-pair comparative study
In short-term outcomes ( 5 years or less , with follow-up of 0–5 years ) , the best implant of choice that has lowest risk of revision and dislocation after THA is DMTHA follow by BTHA .
Abstract Postoperative dislocation is a challenging complication after  total hip arthroplasty ( THA ) that affects patient outcome worldwide .
Instability is one of the main complications with rates exceeding 20 % in some series .
Currently , alternative acetabular components are available with dual mobility ( DMTHA ) bearing surfaces and larger femoral head size that may reduce the risk of dislocation , yet provide the functional benefit of st and ard single mobility ( STHA ) bearing surface THA .
However , whether STHA , big femoral head ( BTHA ) and DMTHA should be used is still controversial .
This systematic review and meta- analysis aim to compare postoperative dislocation and revision ( aseptic loosening and infection ) of BTHA , STHA and DMTHA in primary or revision THA .
These clinical outcomes consist of postoperative dislocation and revision ( aseptic loosening and infection ) .
