SINGLE STAGE BILATERAL TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT
Reminiscing the awareness programmes and celebrations of World Arthritis Day, 12th October, we share a case of a young lady with advanced osteoarthritis of both the hip joints, crippling her activities of daily living.
To perform a Total Hip Replacement surgery of both the hips in a single sitting needs a state of the art infrastructure, expert operative room personnel, great anaesthetic team back up, and most importantly a suitable patient.
This was probably the first case of bilateral hip replacement done in the same sitting in North Bengal, and we are glad to restore the patient back to her normal life.
