The John Charnley Award: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Dual Mobility and Single Bearings for Patients at High Risk of Dislocation Following Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Why it matters

Dislocation remains a leading cause of early revision after THA, especially in high-risk patients. This trial provides the best evidence to date on whether DM bearings reduce dislocation in a real-world high-risk population, informing implant selection.
