Reduced Risk of Dislocation means The dual mobility design allows for a greater range of motion and increased stability, which can help prevent dislocations, a significant concern for patients who may experience sudden movements during seizures. Increased Stability means The design includes a larger head size within the ace tabular component, providing more stability and reducing the chance of the implant coming out of place. Improved Longevity means Some studies suggest that dual mobility implants may have better wear characteristics and longevity compared to traditional hip replacements.
