Is the position of dual-mobility cup in THA for femoral neck fractures optimal? A retrospective study.

Misalignment was more frequent when THA was achieved for an acute proximal femur fracture. Several explanations can be proposed: lesser bone quality, incomplete removal of upper acetabular osteophytes which can lead to excessive horizontalization of the cup and surgical procedure performed by younger surgeons in "fracture group". These misalignments don't cause more mechanical complications in the first months after surgery.
