Higher femoral periprosthetic fracture rate with dual-mobility compared with single-mobility total hip arthroplasty : a retrospective propensity-matched study of 780 uncemented hips.

Why it mattersDual-mobility bearings are widely used to reduce dislocation, but this study suggests a trade-off: a higher periprosthetic fracture risk, especially in femoral neck fracture patients. Orthopedic surgeons must weigh these competing risks when selecting bearings for high-risk patients.
