Abstract

Introduction: Total hip replacement (THR) is the most successful arthroplasty to date, not exempt from complications, such as prosthetic instability. Double mobility (DM) cups are a treatment option in the resolution of THR with recurrent dislocations due to instability. The objective of the study was to evaluate the results of cementing a DM component in a previous, stable uncemented cup, in a patient with recurrent dislocation, undergoing revision THR. A patient with uncemented THR with distal fixation after failedosteosynthesis, who presented episodes of recurrent dislocations, was treated by revision with a cemented DM implant inside a fixed uncemented primary cup and a proximal femoral module with extended offset, preserving tension, length and reducibility of the prosthesis. Resolution of the prosthetic instability was achieved and the patient did not present any episodes of dislocation, obtaining good outcomes in the short term. The hip Harris score went from 4/80 preoperatively to 61/80, 73/80, and 76/80 evaluated at 3, 6, and 9 months postoperatively, respectively.
Conclusion: Cementation of a DM cup in a previously well-fixed cup appears to be a viable option to treat and prevent instability after revision THR.
