Dual mobility hip
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi. Three weeks ago I had THR posterior approach and am feeling fantastic! Still walking on one crutch but I'm very close to losing it altogether. I had a dual mobility hip and was wondering if anyone else has one on here? So far, it's been excellent to me.

They couldn't use the traditional hip used here that they use in the US because I was too loose in the socket, my legs would be different lengths and some other issues so this one is mainly used in France. From what I hear (read) both are great, just US mainly uses the one here and France uses the one there. It's a ball inside a ball that then goes in a socket. More stability and hardly dislocates. Which is what their main concerns were for my problems. Just would like to hear someone else who had it and how they are doing. All seems great as of 3 weeks. Im close to ditching the crutch but not there yet. Hopefully soon!

this helps prevent dislocation. Usually once bone has grown into implant components dislocation is not a issue for many years.
