Only patients with an acetabular shell diameter capable of accommodating at least a 36mm femoral head will be included

Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies

Study Summary

This trial will compare patients who undergo a revision THA with a dual mobility bearing to those with a single bearing design - we think the former will have a lower dislocation rate.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who need a second hip replacement surgery and can fit at least a 36mm femoral head in their existing hip socket. It's not for first-time hip replacements or those converting from non-arthroplasty fracture fixations to total hip arthroplasty.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of implants in revision total hip arthroplasty: dual mobility cups versus conventional single-bearing cups with large heads (36mm/40mm). The goal is to see if the dual mobility reduces dislocation rates within the first year after surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, typical risks may include infection, pain at the implant site, dislocation of the new joint, wear and tear on the implant, and possible need for further surgeries.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Dual MobilityExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
If patients are randomized to the dual mobility cohort, they will receive a dual mobility prosthesis at the surgeon's discretion. All surgeries will be performed via the posterior approach, per the participating surgeon's usual standard. Patients will be on postoperative hip precautions for 6 weeks, per departmental protocol. No braces will be utilized.
Group II: Conventional, Single-bearing hip implantActive Control1 Intervention
If patients are randomized to the conventional, single bearing cohort, surgeons will use their preferred implant design at their discretion using a 36 or 40mm head, depending on the diameter of the cup and manufacturer specifications. All surgeries will be performed via the posterior approach, per the participating surgeon's usual standard. Patients will be on postoperative hip precautions for 6 weeks, per departmental protocol. No braces will be utilized.
