Revision Arthroplasty: Constrained Liners, Dual Mobility and Trends

The Journal of Arthroplasty: The Cut brings you another very special episode based on Knee Society Proceedings that highlight important research about knee arthroplasty. In this episode of The Cut, our hosts Kim K. Tucker, MD and Nathanael D. Heckmann, MD welcomed guests Craig J. Della Valle, MD, George J. Haidukewych, MD and Rafael J. Sierra, MD to discuss three different papers focusing on dual mobility, constrained liners and trends.  

Dr. Sierra began discussing the first paper/study on dual mobility. Dr. Sierra had some sheer takeaways that he wanted all surgeons to know such as surgeons should always look for an excuse to revise the cup in a revision. It’s extremely important to do this. Our second paper/study on constrained liners when abductor muscles are gone or dual mobility has already failed was discussed by Dr. Haidukewych. And lastly, the final paper/study on what is driving revisions in the US was discussed by Dr. Della Valle.

In this recording, our guests share a great deal of knowledge on revision arthroplasty. If your patients are in need of revision surgery, this is a podcast you don’t want to miss. For more, listen to the full recording here.
