About this trial

Objective: The primary objective is to investigate whether there is a difference in the number of hip dislocations following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), using the posterolateral approach, with a DM cup compared to a unipolar cup in elderly patients 1 year after surgery.

Study design: Prospective multi-center nation wide, single blinded RCT nested in the LROI.

Study population: Patients ≥ 70 years old, undergoing an elective primary cemented THA.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients who are eligible for elective primary THA with a cemented cup, with a 32mm or 36 mm liner, for any indication.

THA using posterolateral surgical approach.

Patients ≥ 70 years old

Adequate comprehension of written and spoken Dutch

Disqualifiers

Patients unable to complete PROMs

Patients with dementia, epilepsy*, spasticity*, mental retardation or alcoholism. (If dementia or mental retardation is not already mentioned in the medical chart, this can be determined by doctors opinion.)

Patients not eligible for either a unipolar or a DM cup

These patients will be asked to participate in the non-randomized dual mobility observational cohort.
