Instability continues to be a troublesome complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Patient-related risk factors associated with a higher dislocation risk include the preoperative diagnosis, an age of 75 years or older, high body mass index (BMI), a history of alcohol abuse, and neurodegenerative diseases.

The goal of this study was to assess the dislocation rate, radiographic outcomes, and complications of patients stratified as high-risk for dislocation who received a dual mobility (DM) bearing in a primary THA at a minimum follow-up of two years.
