The rate of postoperative dislocation after Stanmore total hip arthroplasty in 427 cases was 4.9%; 1.4% were classified as recurrent cases. Retroversion of the acetabular component and postoperative joint laxity were the only factors that were found to predispose to dislocation. The importance of preserving the effective femoral neck length during total hip arthroplasty is emphasized.
