Bousquet dual mobility socket for patient under fifty years old. More than twenty year follow-up of one hundred and thirty one hips.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to analyze dual mobility cup survival rate on young patients under 50 years old at more than 20 years of follow up.

METHODS: One hundred thirty seven hips with a first generation of dual mobility Bousquet cup (Serf) were included. The mean age at the time of the surgery was 41 years and the mean follow-up was 21.9 years.

RESULTS: Twenty year follow-up cup survival rate was 77%. No dislocation occurred, 44 hips were revised (including 21 cup aseptic loosenings isolated, 15 Intra Prosthetic Dislocations), seven hips were lost to follow-up, 11 patients died, and 75 hips were still in situ.

CONCLUSION: First generation dual mobility cup survival on young patient was comparable with literature results. The main complications, cup aseptic loosening and intra prosthetic dislocation, were wear-related. With improvements of the defects of first generation dual mobility, we might expect an even better survival rate with contemporary DM cups.
