Advanced Dual Mobility Hips

Enhanced Stability. Advanced Hip Replacement Technology.

Hip pain can significantly impact mobility, independence, sleep, work, and quality of life. Advanced Dual Mobility Hip Replacement technology is designed to provide improved hip stability, increased range of motion, and a reduced risk of dislocation following total hip replacement surgery.

Dual mobility implants represent an evolution in hip replacement design by incorporating a unique dual-articulation system that allows for greater movement and enhanced joint stability. For many patients, this advanced technology may help support a more active lifestyle and greater confidence during everyday movement.

What Is an Advanced Dual Mobility Hip?

A dual mobility hip implant is a specialized type of total hip replacement system designed with two points of articulation instead of one. Traditional hip replacements typically use a single ball-and-socket motion, while dual mobility implants include an additional mobile polyethylene liner that increases stability and movement.

The implant system generally includes:

• A metal acetabular shell (socket)
• A mobile polyethylene liner
• A femoral head component
• A femoral stem placed within the thigh bone

This dual-motion design allows for improved range of motion while helping reduce the risk of hip instability and dislocation.

Benefits of Advanced Dual Mobility Hip Technology

Patients may experience several advantages with advanced dual mobility hip replacement systems, including:

• Improved Hip Stability: The dual mobility design increases the effective head size of the implant, helping improve joint stability.
• Reduced Risk of Dislocation: Dual mobility technology is commonly used to help lower the risk of post-operative hip dislocation.
• Greater Range of Motion: The implant allows for increased movement before impingement occurs.
• Enhanced Confidence with Movement: Many patients feel more comfortable returning to daily activities, walking, climbing stairs, and recreational movement.
• Ideal for Higher-Risk Patients: Dual mobility implants may be especially beneficial for patients at increased risk of hip instability.
• Advanced Implant Materials: Modern implant systems are designed with durable materials intended to improve longevity and performance.

Conditions Treated with Hip Replacement Surgery

Advanced Dual Mobility Hip Replacement may be recommended for patients experiencing:

• Hip osteoarthritis
• Severe hip pain and stiffness
• Degenerative joint disease
• Hip instability
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Hip fractures
• Avascular necrosis
• Failed previous hip replacement
• Loss of mobility affecting daily life

Who May Be a Candidate?

You may be a candidate for Advanced Dual Mobility Hip Replacement if you:

• Experience chronic hip pain that limits daily activities
• Have difficulty walking, standing, or climbing stairs
• Have failed conservative treatment options
• Have hip instability or a higher risk of dislocation
• Need revision hip replacement surgery
• Want to remain active after hip replacement

Candidates often include:

• Active adults
• Older adults at risk for falls
• Patients with weak hip musculature
• Individuals with complex hip anatomy
• Patients undergoing revision hip replacement

A comprehensive evaluation, physical examination, and imaging studies are necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

How the Procedure Works

During total hip replacement surgery, the damaged portions of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial components designed to restore smooth movement and reduce pain.

With a dual mobility implant:

1. The damaged cartilage and bone are removed.
2. The hip socket is prepared for the implant.
3. The dual mobility implant components are positioned.
4. The femoral stem and head are secured.
5. The dual articulation system helps improve stability and movement.

Many procedures are performed using minimally invasive surgical techniques designed to reduce tissue disruption and support recovery.

Recovery After Dual Mobility Hip Replacement

Recovery varies depending on overall health, activity level, and surgical technique.

Post-operative recovery may include:

• Walking shortly after surgery
• Physical therapy and strengthening exercises
• Gradual return to daily activities
• Pain management protocols
• Mobility and balance training

Many patients experience significant improvement in pain, mobility, and quality of life following hip replacement surgery.

Why Stability Matters in Hip Replacement

Hip dislocation is one of the potential complications following hip replacement surgery. Advanced dual mobility technology was developed to help address this concern by improving implant stability and increasing the range of motion before impingement occurs.

Improved stability may help patients:

• Feel more secure during movement
• Return to activity with confidence
• Reduce the risk of instability-related complications
• Improve long-term function and satisfaction
