Dual Mobility Hip Replacement

Advanced implants for improved stability

Improved stability and security

Dual Mobility Hip Replacement is a French-designed prosthesis consisting of two interacting balls, one smaller inside a larger, facilitating an enhanced range of motion and exceptional stability. This design reduces the risk of dislocation, making it especially suitable for procedures using traditional surgical approaches like the posterior method, where maintaining hip stability is crucial. It’s also ideal for patients with prior spinal surgery, offering improved joint stability to offset restricted lumbar spine mobility.


Mr Ilan Freedman has significant experience with Dual Mobility hip replacement technology, frequently recommending it when a traditional approach such as the posterior or lateral method is required, particularly for larger patients or those where the anterior approach may not be optimal. This approach is also recommended for patients with specific conditions like dysplasia or those needing revision surgery, ensuring they benefit from a prosthesis that optimally addresses their anatomical and surgical requirements.

Benefits

The innovative design of dual mobility hip replacements offers a range of advantages:

  • Enhanced Stability and Security: Dual mobility hip replacements provide enhanced joint stability, significantly reducing the risk of dislocation compared to traditional single-ball designs. This makes them especially suitable for patients with higher dislocation risks due to anatomy or previous surgeries.

  • Greater Range of Motion: The innovative two-ball design allows for increased movement within the joint, offering patients a superior range of motion.

  • Long-Term Durability: Dual mobility systems are designed to endure the rigours of both everyday use and more intense physical activity, providing a durable solution that helps extend the lifespan of the hip replacement.

  • Versatile Surgical Applications: Dual mobility replacements can be implanted via traditional posterior, lateral or anterior methods and are particularly beneficial for patients with specific anatomical or surgical challenges.

  • The Optimal Choice for Revision Surgery: Dual mobility hip replacements are an excellent option for revision surgeries due to instability or previous implant failures, offering improved stability and function.

Case Examples

Mr Freedman’s training & experience

An Internationally-trained and renowned Orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Freeman brings over a decade of experience to providing a meticulous standard of care.

The success of technically complicated surgery depends on several elements, but one important factor is having a highly-trained and experienced surgeon.

Mr Freedman completed a fellowship in the UK to train in hip arthroscopy with Professor Damian Griffin, a world-renowned expert in hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgery.

While on fellowship in the UK, Mr Freedman’s supervisor, Professor Griffin, received an invitation to observe a new hip replacement technique in Paris with Dr. Frederic Laude, a world expert in Direct Anterior hip surgery. As fate would have it, other commitments prevented Prof. Griffin from attending, so he sent Mr Freedman in his place, and he was amazed by the innovative procedure, the minimal incision, and the quick recovery of patients. Mr Freedman later returned to Paris to complete a fellowship under Dr Frederic Laude.

Upon returning to Australia, Mr Freedman, successfully implemented anterior approach hip replacements in his practice, leading to rapid growth in his case numbers and the eventual standardisation of this technique, even for complex surgeries.

  • Internationally Trained and Recognised

    Mr Freedman has trained under some of the best hip surgeons in Europe.

  • Cutting-Edge Techniques

    Mr Freedman employs advanced technology and techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for his patients.

Improved stability, increased quality of life

The French-designed prosthesis used in dual mobility hip replacement enhances the range of motion and provides exceptional stability, significantly reducing dislocation risks.
