Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2021, Pages 345-348
Constrained acetabular liners (CALs) are used in both primary and revision total hip arthroplasty in cases where stability and abductor deficiency are of concern. The efficacy of CALs has been shown to be design dependent. There is clear evidence that the use of small head sizes and shorter offset in unconstrained total hip arthroplasty is associated with higher rates of dislocation. To our knowledge, no such study has assessed the effect of femoral head size, neck length, and offset for CALs.
