Abstract

Dislocation is a frequent early complication of total hip arthroplasty 1 (THA) and is associated with a higher mortality rate compared with THA patients who do not sustain a dislocation. 2 Dislocation is one of the most common causes for revision surgery after loosening and infection. 3 The incidence of dislocation after primary THA within the first 90 days is approximately 3%, while that of revisions is over 2 times higher, and 8%. 4 Most published studies are from high-volume medical centers, yet most hip replacements are done by surgeons who perform a lesser volume of hip arthroplasties. Because of evidence that dislocation rate may be associated with surgeon experience, the incidence of dislocation overall may be higher than is reported from large centers.
