Article Synopsis
- The study compares total workdays missed between patients who underwent staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty (bTHA) and those who had simultaneous bTHA, focusing on the method of surgery used.*
-
- Among 154 employed patients, simultaneous bTHA resulted in an average of 25.6 missed workdays, while staged bTHA led to 36.9 missed workdays, indicating a significant difference in recovery time.*
-
- The findings suggest that simultaneous bTHA may be more beneficial for employed patients, potentially aiding surgeons in advising those with bilateral hip osteoarthritis considering surgery.*
