title: Dual-mobility cup and cemented femoral component: 6 year follow-up results.
abstract: Use of a dual-mobility acetabular cup is associated with a lower risk of dislocation compared with conventional hip implants. The seleXys® DS acetabular cup combines the advantages of Charnley low-friction arthroplasty with those of dual mobility. We performed a non-randomised, prospective study of patients receiving primary hip arthroplasty, including an uncemented seleXys® DS dual-mobility acetabular cup with hydroxyapatite coating (Mathys AG, Bettlach, Switzerland) and a cemented femoral component (Stallion femoral stem Groupe Lepine, Lyon, France). The objective of the study was to evaluate longevity of the implant and the risk of dislocation. All operations were performed by a single surgeon using a posterior approach, with patients lying in the lateral decubitus position. The stem had a modular head diameter of 22.2 mm and was cemented in all patients. A total of 53 patients were studied, and the median duration of follow-up was 78.9 months. Implant survival 6 years after surgery was 98.4% (n=47; 95% CI: 89.3-99.8). There was one revision for sepsis 29 months after surgery, and one dislocation. The results of this study appear to demonstrate excellent implant survival and a low rate of dislocation using the chosen implants.
