Abstract
Two staged bilateral total hip replacement (THR) is commonly performed for bilateral hip end stage arthritis and is preferred as THR is a complex planned surgery and performing both sides simultaneously may be fraught with risks and complications. However, many studies now indicate that in carefully selected patients , single stage or simultaneous bilateral THR can be performed with successful and cost effective results. We report a case of one-stage bilateral THR performed in a 22 year old with bilateral severe arthritis due to ankylosing spondylitis. Patient was severely disabled due to pain and was only ambulating on wheelchair. After a successful single stage bilateral THR, patient recovered fully and after 6 weeks was walking independently without any pain, with full function of both hips and performing his occupation normally. The surgical costs to the patient and hospital were both economical. We conclude that single stage bilateral THR is a better surgical option for young and fit patients with bilateral hip arthritis.
