Do dual-mobility cups cemented into porous tantalum shells reduce the risk of dislocation after revision surgery?: A retrospective cohort study on 184 patients

Background and purpose — Dual-mobility cups (DMCs) reduce the risk of dislocation and porous tantalum (TM) shells show favorable osseointegration after acetabular revision surgery, yet the combination of these implants has not been studied.
