Large-diameter femoral heads have emerged as a common treatment for recurrent dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Despite the reported biomechanical advantages of jumbo femoral heads, clinical evidence is lacking. The purpose of this study is to report a series of consecutive patients who underwent hip revision with a jumbo femoral head for recurrent dislocation after THA.
