Popis: The authors describe the surgical technique for minimal invasive surgery using a dual mobility total hip prosthesis by posterior external approach and cutaneous incision of 5 to 10 cm length. Six hundred total hip prosthesis were implanted between 2002 and 2005, 450 due to osteoarthrisis and 150 to neck fractures. The results show a duration of hospital stay reduced to 5 to 8 days, a reduction of blood loss with a transfusion in 15 to 35% of the cases, and a dislocation rate of 0.7%, with one dislocation for osteoarthrisis (0.22%) and three for fractures (2%). We report two revision surgeries due to femoral fractures at the beginning of our experience, and two deep infections. The compatibility between the minimal invasive surgical technique and the dual mobility which is known to rarely induce dislocation, have been discussed.
