Abstract:

 Objectives: To study the incidence of dislocation following total hip replacement arthroplasty and its risk factors.
Patients and methods: A prospective study that was conducted at two military hospitals located in Amman city in Jordan: King Hussein Medical Center and Queen Alia Military Hospital during the period between January 2008 and January 2011. One hundred and thirty patients were enrolled in the study. Patients were examined by an orthopedic surgeon before and after surgery. Diagnosis was made based on clinical and radiological findings. Risk factors including original pathology, surgical technique, and presence of previous surgery and position of acetabular cup were investigated.
Results: The mean age of patients was 62.3 years with females slightly outnumbering males 1.1 to 1. Dislocation occurred in 4 patients (3.03%). Dislocation was not related to surgical technique or original pathology. The most common etiological factors were placing the acetabular cup too vertically or anteverted (3 patients). The last patient had limb shortening.
Conclusion: Dislocation is not uncommon following total hip replacement surgery. Placing the acetabular cup in the correct position will minimize its occurrence.
