To determine the outcome, the need for revision surgery, quality of life (QOL) of patients and the financial implications of instability following successful closed reduction of dislocation after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Retrospective study. Parameters studied include indications for primary hip replacement, femoral head size, outcome in terms of the rate of recurrent dislocation, time to second dislocation and the need for revision surgery. QOL assessment was made cross-sectionally at a minimum follow-up of 1 year using the Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaire.Aim
