Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patients with poliomyelitis underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA) are known to be at higher risk of dislocation on account of muscular atrophy. This study aimed to investigate clinical outcomes, radiographic outcomes, complication rates, and survivorship of dual mobility THA in displaced femoral neck fractures of elderly with poliomyelitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively included 17 patients (17 hips) with residual poliomyelitis who underwent THA with dual mobility articulation. Clinical outcomes were assessed with the visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, Oxford hip score, and University of California Los Angeles activity (UCLA) score. Radiographic outcomes were examined by radiographs. Complications and re-operations following THA were recorded. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 77.05 months. The mean VAS, Oxford hip score, and UCLA score were improved significantly. In all but one patient, no complications were occurred. Re-operation was carried out in one patient due to posterior dislocation. The Kaplan-Meier survivorship with an end point of re-operation for any reason was 94.1%. CONCLUSIONS: THA with dual mobility system is proved to be effective in strengthening stability and reducing the risk of dislocation, which is suitable for patients with neuromuscular disease. Hence, in elderly with residual poliomyelitis, dual mobility THA is a valid choice as a treatment for displaced femoral neck fractures.
