ABSTRACT
Instability and dislocation remain leading indications for revision of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Many studies have addressed the links between implant design and dislocation; however, an understanding of the impact of alignment and kinematic variability on constraint of modern THA constructs to provide joint stability is needed. The objective of this study is to provide objective data to be considered in the treatment algorithm to protect against joint instability. Joint contact and muscle forces were evaluated using musculoskeletal models of THA patients performing activities consistent with posterior and anterior dislocation. Position and joint loads were transferred to a finite element simulation with an experimentally calibrated hip capsule representation, where they were kinematically extrapolated until impingement and eventual dislocation. Cup anteversion and inclination were varied according to clinical measurements, and variation in imposed kinematics was included. The resistive moment provided by the contact force and joint capsule, and overall dislocation rate (dislocations/total simulations) were determined with neutral and lipped acetabular liners. Use of a lipped liner did increase the resistive moment in posterior dislocation, by an average of 5.2 Nm, and the flexion angle at dislocation by 1.4° compared to a neutral liner. There was a reduction in similar magnitude in resistance to anterior dislocation. Increased cup anteversion and inclination, hip abduction and internal rotation all reduced the occurrence of posterior dislocation but increased anterior dislocation. A quantitative understanding of tradeoffs in the dislocation risk inherent to THA construct options is valuable in supporting surgical decision making.
