Abstract
Aim
We hypothesize that a dual mobility cup can be safely used via the direct anterior approach, without increasing the risk of complications or incorrect positioning.
Materials and methods
This retrospective study compared 201 primary total hip arthroplasties using a dual mobility cup performed via direct anterior approach without a traction table, to 101 arthroplasties performed via posterolateral approach. Implant positioning, function scores, and early complications were recorded.
Results
Implant positioning was appropriate in both groups, with a higher cup anteversion in direct anterior approach. The complications rates were similar in both groups, with no dislocation or infection.
Conclusion
The direct anterior approach without traction table associated with a dual mobility cup does not increase the risk of complications or non-optimal positioning of implants. This strategy is interesting for patients with high risk of post-operative dislocation.
