Background: We argue that 1-stage bilaterally total hip arthroplasty (THA) could be acceptable in bilateral coxarthrosis because of high-riding developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Methods: Sixty-nine cases (51 patients) of high-riding DDH in patients who underwent THA from 2010 to 2013 were reviewed. Patients were divided into 2 groups: unilateral (group 1) and 1-stage bilateral surgery (group 2). The clinical measurements were the visual analog scale and Harris Hip Score.

Results: The average follow-up was 37.3 months for group 1 and 38.8 months for group 2. The hospital stay time was 5.2 days in group 1 and 6.2 days in group 2 (P = .334). The mean Harris Hip Score and visual analog scale score were improved significantly after surgery for both groups, and there was no statistically significant difference (P = .988). There was no difference between groups 1 and 2 in terms of complications (P = .137).

Conclusion: Our data confirm that 1-stage bilateral transverse osteotomy with THA is an effective method as unilateral and it does not increase the length of patients' hospital stays and features a low risk of postoperative complications in the treatment of patients with high-riding DDH.
