Abstract
Simultaneous bilateral THA has several advantages over staged THA, however its safety has not been well examined. This study reports a statewide 15-year experience of simultaneous bilateral THA and compares its complications to those of unilateral THA. Logistic regression was used to determine the role of bilateral surgery as a predictor of complications while correcting for patient comorbidities. Of 202,986 patients, 1.1% underwent bilateral THA. Bilateral THA was more commonly performed in males, younger patients, those with private insurance, and at higher volume hospitals. There was no difference in 30-day readmissions or revision surgeries. There was a higher rate of sepsis in the bilateral group but no difference in other complications. This study demonstrates that THA is a safe option in appropriately selected patients.
