Mechanical complications of double cup arthroplasty of the hip are common, particularly loosening of the components. This paper describes a series of 26 such operations with an average follow-up of 67 months. There was a failure rate or 53.8% and these hips had to be revised with another type of replacement. Our results are compared with other reported series.
