Introduction: The unilateral total hip arthroplasty is a routine surgical intervention, but in the mean time in several institutions over the world, they perform also bilateral total hip arthroplasty as a one-stage surgery, with different indications. Objective: The aim of this study is to present through our cases and through the international literature the indication criteria, the absolute and relative contraindications, and the potential difficulties of one-stage bilateral hip arthroplasty, showing also the real state of this intervention in our healthcare and financial situation. Method: In this publication, we review - in relation to our five cases - the possibilities of bilateral total hip arthroplasty, their indications and differences compared to the unilateral intervention, and also its financial background. Results: We had neither surgical nor internal medicine complications. Comparing to unilateral hip arthroplasty, patients needed no higher quantity of blood transfusion, but the hospitalization period was 1,5-2 times longer in our cases. Difficulties of mobilization were according more to their internal medical status. Conclusion: According to our experience, the one-stage bilateral hip arthroplasty, with well considered indication range, can be performed safely in adequate internal medicine state of the patient, involving the cardiology and reumatology specialist, with careful anesthesia preparation. The financial side of this intervention is not yet solved at the National Health Insurance Fund of Hungary.

The use of perioperative cephalosporin prophylaxis in patients who have a pre-existing penicillin allergy.

Background: Studies have shown an association between a reported penicillin allergy and an increased risk of surgical site infection. The risk is due to avoidance of cephalosporins and to the use of alternative classes of antibiotics in surgical prophylaxis. The aim of this study was to examine the safety of using cephalosporins in patients with a penicillin allergy label.

Introduction: Total joint arthroplasties generally achieve good outcomes, but chronic pain and disability are a significant burden after these interventions. Acknowledging relevant risk factors can inform preventive strategies. This study aimed to identify chronic pain profiles 6 months after arthroplasty using the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases) classification and to find pre and postsurgical predictors of these profiles.

Introduction: There is a lack of clinical evidence supporting the decision-making process between high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicomparmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in gray zone indication, such as moderate medial osteoarthritis with moderate varus alignment. This study compared the outcomes between HTO and UKA in such cases and assessed the risk factor for not maintaining clinical improvements.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 65 opening-wedge HTOs and 55 UKAs with moderate medial osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ 3 and Ahlback grade < 3) and moderate varus alignment (5°< Hip-Knee-Ankle angle < 10°) over 3 years follow-up.
The Oxford hip score demonstrates moderate ceiling effects at one and two years after total hip arthroplasty: which patients are at risk and does it matter?

Southwest of London Orthopaedic Elective Centre, Epsom, UK.
Background: The aim was to assess whether the postoperative Oxford Hip Score (OHS) demonstrated a ceiling effect at 1 or 2 years after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and to identify which patients are more likely to achieve a ceiling score and whether this limits assessment of their outcome.
Methods: A retrospective cohort of 7871 patients undergoing primary THA was identified from an established arthroplasty database. Patient demographics, ASA grade, socioeconomic status, OHS and EuroQol questionnaire were collected preoperatively and at 1 and 2 years postoperatively.
