166 Dual Mobility for Total Hip Arthroplasty Revision Surgery: A Systematic Review and Metanalysis

Dual Mobility (DM) implants provide greater stability especially in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty (R-THA) when compared to primary THA. Aim: to identify the current evidence regarding outcomes of DM in R-THA when compared to fixed-bearing (FB) implants. Review in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Structured electronic searches. Primary outcome measure: dislocation rate following R-THA. Secondary outcome measures: implant survival, aseptic loosening, infection rate. Studies' methodology quality assessed using MINORS criteria. All articles published from 2016 to December 2019 included. 1777 R-THAs were reported (49.9% with DM acetabular component, 50.1% with FB component). Sample size: 67-426 patients. Mean age: 57-73. Mean follow-up period: 12-60 months. Significant risk ratio of 1.08 [1.05, 1.12] (95% CI, I2 = 37%, P DM implants are beneficial in R-THA when compared to FB implants. However, one needs to balance the benefits of using DM implant considering the patient’s clinical conditions and the costs involved.
