Modular dual mobility (MDM) acetabular components are often used to prevent dislocation in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA). As there is insufficient data on these components, the outcomes were evaluated in a cohort with a mean follow-up time of greater than five years. Using the database of a single academic center, 126 revision THAs (117 patients) with one MDM were retrospectively reviewed. There were 94 hips in 88 patients with a mean follow-up time of 5.5 years. Survivorship analysis was performed with the endpoints of dislocation, reoperation for dislocation, cup revision for aseptic loosening, and cup revision for any reason. The secondary endpoints were perioperative complications and radiographic review.Background
