Do dual-mobility implants prevent hip dislocation following hip revision in obese patients?
Obese patients should be counselled about the important risk of dislocation that occurs with standard liners after revision THA. Dual-mobility liners in these patients with hip revision is an efficient technique to prevent post-operative hip dislocation.
The results suggest that under acute psychological stress, triathletes not only react with SIH and a reduction in pain modulation, but also lose their advantageous pain modulation over non-athletes. The stronger the stress response recorded, the weaker the SIH. It appears that triathletes are not resilient to stress, responding with an increase in the sensitivity to pain as well as a decrease in pain inhibition. The possible effects of athletes' baseline pain profile and stress reactivity on SIH are discussed.
