Il cotile a doppia mobilità: una nuova rivoluzione nell’artroprotesi d’anca
Abstract
DUAL MOBILITY CUP: A NEWTHA REVOLUTION
Dislocation following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) remains the leading reason for revision in the first 2 years. Dual
mobility cup (DMC) was developed in France in the early seventies by G. Bousquet and his engineer A. Rambert with
the aim of reducing dislocation rate in THA, representing also an alternative to large femoral head.
Based on our clinical results and the current literature, DMC is a reliable surgical procedure. In France the dislocation
rate has globally decreased from 9.06% in 2005 to 6.10% in 2014. In the field of THA, the DMC may be considered as
the second “French revolution”.
