Comparison of current results to those in the recent literature evaluating acetabular component position and dislocation

Authors Year # patients with dislocation # patients in series Factors affecting dislocation Safe zone
Lewinnek et al. 1978 9 300 Surgical approach and acetabular cup orientation Inclination 40° ± 10°
Anteverison 15° ± 10°
McCollum et al. 1990 5 441 Acetabular cup orientation Inclination 40° ± 10°
Anteverison 30° ± 10°
Paterno et al. 1997 17 391 Age, excessive alcohol intake Did not find a difference in inclination
Jolles et al. 2002 21 2,023 Acetabular cup orientation, surgeon volume, patient motor skills and ASA score Anteversion between 40° and 60°
Robinson et al. 2012 9 668 THA position (acetabular and femoral offset) Inclination 40° ± 10°
Esposito et al. 2014 147 7,040 Age and activity score Did not find a safe zone
