Abstract:
[Objective]To explore the causes and treatments of recurrent dislocation after total hip replacement.[Method]From July 1999 to January 2007,there were 47 cases of dislocation after total hip replacement.Thirteen cases were recurrent.CT and serial X-rays were taken to observe the position of prosthesis.The strength of their hip abductor was also tested.Stability test was used to value the stability of hip.Closed reduction,modular adjustments and revision were adopted according to patients,willingness,prosthesis and stability.[Result]All of the 13 patients had malposition.Eleven cases were tested with instability.Five cases were successfully treated by closed reduction.Despite dislocation reoccurred 1～2 times every year in 3 patients treated by closed reduction,patients felt satisfactory.In the 4 cases with modular revision procedure,2 cases changed the neck length,1 case used elevated liner and larger neck length,1 cases treated by using larger offset and adjusting abnormal liner.Another one treated by revision.[Conclusion]Malposition is the major causes of recurrent dislocation.The prosthesis test whowed instability.The treatments of recurrent dislocation after THA should use different ways according to the causes of dislocation,stability of prosthesis and the willingness of patients.
