One-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty is safe for well-selected patients, though hospitalization may be longer. Careful medical and anesthetic preparation is crucial for successful outcomes in this complex procedure.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Arthroplasty
- Surgical Procedures
Background:
- Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure.
- Bilateral THA in a single stage is performed in some centers.
- Indications for bilateral THA vary.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review indications and contraindications for one-stage bilateral THA.
- To discuss potential difficulties and financial aspects.
- To present findings from five case studies.
Main Methods:
- Case review of five patients undergoing one-stage bilateral THA.
- Literature review on indications, contraindications, and outcomes.
- Analysis of financial background and healthcare system implications.
Main Results:
- No surgical or internal medicine complications were observed.
- Blood transfusion requirements were similar to unilateral THA.
- Hospitalization was 1.5-2 times longer; mobilization depended on patient's medical status.
Conclusions:
- One-stage bilateral THA can be safely performed in patients with adequate medical status.
- Collaboration with cardiology and rheumatology specialists is recommended.
- Careful anesthetic preparation is essential for patient safety.
