Total hip arthroplasty with second generation dual mobility system as a treatment for primary coxarthrosis, medium-term results. / Artroplastia total de cadera con sistema de doble movilidad de segunda generación como tratamiento de coxartrosis primaria, resultados a mediano plazo.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Osteoarthritis is a disabling pathology characterized by joint pain and stiffness. A prevalence of coxarthrosis of 7.4% is reported in our country. Total hip joint replacement is indicated in advanced stages, a procedure that is not free of complications, the most frequent being prosthetic dislocation, which can be prevented with dual mobility systems. The following study aims to determine the rate of complications and clinical outcomes in dual mobility systems in primary coxarthrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study included 120 cases in 114 patients diagnosed with grade III coxarthrosis, mean age was 62.43 years, with a mean follow-up of 4.5 years. Joint replacement was performed by Hardinge approach. All cases were assessed clinically using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and radiologically to demonstrate mid-term results. RESULTS: The preoperative value on the HHS scale had a mean of 56.45, postoperative at one month 74.23; 6 months 85.40; 1 year 94.01 and at 5 years 94.84 points, representing a functional improvement of 17.78 postoperative month; 28.95 at 6 months postoperative; 37.56 at one year postoperative and 38.39 points at 5 years postoperative. A complication rate of 3.44%; 0.86% of complications were associated with the prosthetic components. CONCLUSION: The dual mobility system should be considered as a therapeutic option in primary hip joint replacement due to excellent functional results and low complication rates. Evidence level IV.
