Total Hip Arthroplasty in Ochronotic Arthropathy: A Case Report
THA with dual mobility cup (DMC) is a promising solution for ochronotic arthropathy, as it enhances joint stability, mobility, and durability, and reduces implant failure and dislocation risk.

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure used to treat various hip conditions. However, patients with ochronotic arthropathy, a rare genetic disorder characterized by the abnormal accumulation of homogentisic acid, are at a higher risk of post-surgical dislocation and instability due to poor bone quality and joint degeneration.
Case Report: This case study features a 52-year-old male patient diagnosed with ochronotic arthropathy who underwent bilateral THA with the use of a dual mobility cup (DMC). Ochronotic arthropathy had caused significant joint degeneration and stiffness, leading to considerable functional impairment.

Ochronotic arthropathy had caused significant joint degeneration and stiffness, leading to considerable functional impairment.
Conclusion: The application of a DMC in THA for patients with ochronotic arthropathy has shown promising outcomes. The DMC offers increased range of motion and improved stability, effectively reducing the risk of post-surgical dislocation and implant failure. This case study highlights the potential of DMC as a viable solution for addressing the challenges posed by poor bone quality in patients with ochronotic arthropathy undergoing THA.
