Abstract
Objective: Present some complications of bipolar warning the disadvantages of this arthroplasty.
Method: Descriptive retrospective one - case report.
Case presentation: two - time postoperative dislocations of bipolar arthroplasty. Successful closed reductions, but coxitis after 2-year follow-up.
Result: Bipolar hip arthroplasty was presented, with complications of dislocations. Despite successful closed reduction but developing coxitis make bipolar less functional than total hip arthroplasty. These unsatisfied results warn the surgeon ahead bipolar indication.
Conclusion: In expection of replacement for total hip arthroplasty. But clinical reality shows that bipolar presumes replace the Moore prosthesis.
