Fixation Failures of Dual Mobility Cups: A Mid-term Study of 2601 Hip Replacements

Abstract

The data suggested primary fixation of grit-blasted dual-mobility cups should be secured with screws. Porous coating sintered on the convex side improved midterm survivorship. No deleterious effect of metallosis resulted from sintered titanium beads on stainless steel. Long-term followup is required to confirm these findings.
