The 2022 Hip Society Research Grant

A Biomechanical Analysis of Dual Mobility Intraprosthetic Dissociation

Intraprosthetic dissociation of a dual mobility is a devastating complication. Little is known about the forces required to dissociate the inner head from the outer polyethylene head. This biomechanical study will evaluate the disassembly forces required to dissociate 5 commonly used dual mobility components.
