- Implant Characteristic
- Surgical technique
- Indications for Dual Mobility Cup
- Long-term performance of the Dual Mobility Cup in dogs with a high risk of luxation after THR and
Design:
Retrospective, single-center study. 105 THR were performed using the Zurich Cementless Total Hip System with the Dual Mobility cup.
Results:
Results of 105 cases demonstrated a low complication rate, including dislocation, of only 1% (1/103).
Conclusion:
The Dual Mobility cups may be an alternative to standard single-bearing cups in dogs reported being at high risk for luxation in both revision and primary arthroplasty. The complication rate, including dislocation, is relatively low in the cases reported in this study (1/103, 1%).
