Is only the classical etiology responsible from the dislocation following the hip arthroplasty

Recently, due to the increase in the world's population, prolonged life expectancy and increased senile population, hip diseases have also increased. In parallel to this, the number of hip arthroplasties has also increased. The more hip arthroplasties increase, the more various complications occur. The most important one of these is hip dislocation and its treatment. Although the type of the prothesis, size of the head used, age, gender, and the type of the incisions have been held responsible among the classical factors causing dislocation and solutions directed to these problems have been discussed, the fact that insufficient patient education may also be one of the causes of hip dislocation and the importance of this education have not been emphasized sufficiently. Most of the time, the standard information given is assumed to be enough, and the patients are not educated on how to continue to live with this artificial joint for the rest of their lives. In our study, we have reported two cases of hip arthroplasty dislocation that occurred due to insufficient verbal information. We have recommended that the training to be given to all hip arthroplasty patients should not only be verbal but should also be supported through booklets that contain educative and explanatory figures.
