Retrospective study of complications following two-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty: does inter-stage interval matter?
Two-stage bilateral THA with a time interval between both surgeries of <2 weeks presented a significantly higher rate of blood transfusions than longer time intervals between surgeries, with an HR of 2.4 (CI: 95% 1.7-3.3, p = 0.000). The incidences of thromboembolic and coronary events were similar between the different timeintervals, demonstrating that two-stage bilateral THA is safe when performed with an interval of at least 2 weeks between both surgeries.
