Purpose: For end stage arthritis of the hip joint, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the treatment of choice. Dual mobility (DM) liner is an implant designed to provide enhanced stability. Long-term effects and implant survivability remain areas of active research despite modern advancements in increased jump distance and dislocation reductions. The aim of this study is to understand the current research landscape and emerging trends through a bibliometric analysis of DM THA. Materials and Methods: An analysis of THA DM publications from between 1982-2022 was conducted through an extensive review of Web of Science Core Collection literature. To identify key trends, contributions, and thematic areas of focus, data on publications, authors, institutions, and countries were extracted and analyzed. Results: The bibliographic search identified 314 articles, with a notable increase in publications over the period of study. Globally, the leading contributors were France and the USA. The analysis highlighted the Journal of Arthroplasty as the most relevant journal. Research themes included mechanical complications, comparative outcomes, metallosis, and corrosion concerns. Conclusion This study provides a comprehensive DM THA research landscape overview highlighting postoperative outcome value. In an effort to guide future research, contributors, sources, and thematic trends were analyzed.
