Recurrent and radiographically unrecognized iatrogenic intra‐prosthesis hip dislocations

Abstract: Hip dislocation is a common complication after total hip arthroplasty surgery. Newer prosthetic implants aim to reduce the risk of dislocation. The new dual mobility implant has a unique design that may result in intra‐prosthetic dislocation. We report a case of a recurrently missed iatrogenic intra‐prosthetic dislocation following closed reduction efforts in the emergency department (ED). Emergency physicians must be aware of the design, pitfalls, and management of this new prosthetic hip design.

“…Furthermore, it may be of value to enhance education, both for patients and providers, surrounding the increasing prevalence of DM implants in THA and the important differences in dislocation between DM and standard implants. Beyond education, recently suggested inclusion of a radiolucent ring on PE liners may lead to better identification of a displaced liner in radiographs without a clear “bubble sign” and/or eccentric position of the femoral head [ 15 , 16 ].…”
