Bilateral Hip Prosthesis in Turkey
Restore mobility in both hips with simultaneous bilateral hip replacement surgery.
What is Bilateral Hip Replacement?
Bilateral hip replacement involves replacing both hip joints with artificial prostheses. This can be done simultaneously (both hips in one surgery) or staged (one hip at a time with recovery between procedures).
Benefits of Bilateral Replacement
Bilateral replacement allows for a single recovery period, potentially faster overall rehabilitation, coordinated physical therapy, and can be more convenient than two separate surgeries. However, it requires careful patient selection based on health and age.
The Procedure
Bilateral hip replacement can be performed simultaneously or staged. The decision depends on your health, age, and surgeon's recommendation. Simultaneous replacement typically takes 3-5 hours, with a hospital stay of 4-6 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Bilateral Hip Prosthesis
Is bilateral hip replacement safe?
Bilateral hip replacement is safe for appropriate candidates. Your surgeon will evaluate your overall health, age, and medical conditions to determine if you're a good candidate for simultaneous replacement or if staged procedures would be safer.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery from bilateral replacement is more intensive than single hip replacement. Physical therapy is crucial and begins immediately. Full recovery typically takes 6-12 months, with significant improvement in the first 3-6 months.
