Bilateral hip replacement, also known as a double hip replacement, involves replacing both hip joints with artificial implants. This can be done either simultaneously (both hips replaced in one surgery) or in a staged manner (one hip replaced, then the other at a later date). The procedure is typically considered when both hips are significantly affected by conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other degenerative joint diseases, causing pain and limiting mobility.
