• Dislocation is the cause of 15% of THA revision surgeries
  • Surgeon factors : Component Positioning, Implant Choice, Surgical Approach
  • Low-volume surgeons and patients with elevated BMI increase the risk of malpositioning
  • No convincing evidence that fluoroscopic or robotic assistance helps 
  • Increasing the size of the femoral head (up to 38 mm) provides greater resistance to dislocation
  • Dual-mobility designs also raise concerns about intraprosthetic dislocations
  • Direct anterior and posterior approaches are both associated with a higher dislocation rate than the direct lateral approach
