Abstract
MONCLOU GARZON, Gary Fernando and ACOSTA HERNANDEZ, David Alejandro. Bilateral hip arthroplasty by minimally invasive anterior technique in male patients. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2023, vol.37, n.1 Epub Mar 01, 2023. ISSN 1561-3100.
Introduction:
Bilateral hip arthroplasty using a minimally invasive technique in men represents a surgical challenge due to its infrequency.
Objective:
To report a case of bilateral coxarthrosis to which bilateral hip arthroplasty was applied by means of a minimally invasive anterior technique.
Case presentation:
71-year-old male patient, athlete, active worker and with no medical history. He presented joint pain in the hips until reaching intradomiciliary limitations. X-rays showed severe bilateral coxarthrosis. A bilateral arthroplasty was performed in a surgical time using a minimally invasive anterior technique.
Conclusion:
Bilateral hip arthroplasty in a surgical time using the minimally invasive anterior technique allows rapid training underway, and restart of work and physical life.
Keywords : bilateral hip arthroplasty; minimally invasive technique; anterior technique; case report.
