Dislocation of hip replacements, are fairly uncommon, in reading articles online and "Google scholar" displacement of first time replacement is 1-2% although may be higher as years go by and depending on the country. Factors leading to displacement may include size of the ball, infection, prior lumbar fusion, neurological status, compliance with prohibited positions, and things related to these.

In addition, if the person is hyper mobile and doesn’t do all the necessary exercises after surgery to strengthen the area in question dislocations may be a problem. Each time I had a surgery (THR and lumbar and cervical.) my body and muscles were substantially more atrophied and it means I have to work harder to keep things strong. I started out hyper mobile as a child and was always dislocating things. The one thing 60 years ago that’s the same as today is exercise is a necessary component of people who are hyper mobile.
