Simultaneous Bilateral Total Hip Replacement Surgery
The most common reason for a Bilateral Hip Replacement is extreme arthritis that causes pain and rigidity in both hips that interfere with daily living activities and dramatically reduce one’s quality of life. Stiffness can make basic tasks like putting your shoes & socks on very difficult. Pressure usually intensified with weight-bearing, standing, and walking activities.
In a simultaneous procedure both hips are replaced in one operation, on the same day under one anesthesia. This means that there is one hospitalization and one recovery period
