Resumen

CERVANTES DELGADO, Royler Humberto et al. Bilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.2, e310.  Epub 01-Dic-2021. ISSN 0864-215X.

Introduction:

Total hip replacement is one of the most successful procedures of the twentieth century. When performed simultaneously, it poses several benefits such as lower cost, shorter hospital stay, use of a single dose of anesthetic and early return to daily activities.

Objective:

To report the first case of simultaneous bilateral total arthroplasty, successfully performed at Manuel Ascunce Domenech University Hospital in Camagüey province.

Case report:

This is a case of a 78-year-old female patient, white skin color, with a five-year history of bilateral coxarthrosis, moderate pain and crisis of intense pain mainly in the left hip. She also had antalgic scoliosis. The physical examination revealed abduction limitation of both hips mainly on the left, with positive bilateral Patrick, Thomas and Trendelenburg maneuvers. In the plain anteroposterior bone pelvis radiograph marked decrease in joint space, bilateral marginal osteophytes, and marked subchondral sclerosis were observed. It was decided to perform a bilateral total arthroplasty in a surgical time, once the clinical conditions of the patient and her consent had been evaluated. The uncemented Surgival system was used.

Conclusions:

Total hip replacement represents a feasible procedure, which provides numerous advantages, and although it is not exempt from complications, these do not signify added risks, as long as the patients are properly selected. The case reported here evolved satisfactorily after two years of surgery.

Palabras clave : bilateral total arthroplasty; hips.
