ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Bilateral hip osteoarthritis is evident in approximately 20% of patients who present to the clinic for evaluation of hip pain, and for those undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA), 22% will end up needing a contralateral THA. The risk and benefits of simultaneous bilateral THA (SBTHA) versus staged bilateral THA procedures have been well studied, demonstrating equivalent safety profiles comparable to unilateral and SBTHA. However, the influence of the surgical approach on SBTHA on postoperative outcomes remains unclear. We sought to compare perioperative outcomes and complication rates between the direct anterior approach (DAA) and posterior approach (PA) in patients undergoing SBTHA.

METHODS:

We performed a 11 propensity score match based on age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). A total of 252 patients were available after matching, 126 patients in the DAA group and 126 in the PA group. Perioperative outcomes as well as surgical complications at the latest follow-up were retrospectively collected for each group. The mean follow-up was 36.7 months (range, 12.5 to 74.4).

RESULTS:

A SBTHA with DAA had significantly shorter surgical time (P < 0.001), anesthesia time (P < 0.001), and length of stay (P < 0.001), compared to the PA. A greater percentage of patients in the DAA group (91%) were discharged home compared to the PA group (57%) (P < 0.001). There were no differences in in-hospital complications (P = 0.617), 90-day complications (P = 0.605), or reoperation rates (P = 0.309) between surgical approaches.

CONCLUSION:

A SBTHA, either through the DAA or PA, can be safely performed with low complication rates. The DAA in the setting of SBTHA provides shorter surgical times, a shorter length of stay, and a greater percentage of patients discharged home.
