Abstract
There are few studies which investigate peri-operative safety and surgical outcome of one stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty. Avascular necrosis of hip is the most common indication for total hip arthroplasty which is frequently bilateral. In present study, we studied 30 patients who were operated with one stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty. Most of them (93%) were suffering from avascular necrosis of hip. We analysed intra-operative blood loss, peri-operative blood transfusion requirement, length of hospital stay and peri-operative complications for the aforesaid patients. All patients were followed up for a period of 6 months post-operatively to determine functional outcome using harris hip score. We concluded that one stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty is safe and efficacious treatment modality for our patients. This study also demonstrates brisk rehabilitation in patients operated with single stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty.
