About this trial
The general purpose of this study is to examine whether the dual mobility cup (Novae® Serf) reduces the number of hip dislocations after total hip replacement, both early dislocation (≤1 year) and late dislocation (\>1 year) after primary THR compared with a conventional cup design (Trabecular MetalTM Modular Acetabular System).
