Article Abstract
Introduction: Bilateral prosthetic hip or knee replacement in one surgical session is a procedure that has been widely validated in the literature, whereas hip and knee replacement in one surgical session remains poorly documented. This study reports on the results of these procedures by analyzing early post-operative complications in a retrospective multicenter study.
Material And Methods: Between 2009 and 2023, 51 patients underwent hip and knee replacement surgery in a single surgical session at 4 French centers. They were 24 men and 27 women, with a mean age of 68.8 years (36-87); 7 patients were ASA 1, 30 were ASA 2 and 14 ASA 3. Prosthetic hip replacement was always performed first, associated 33 times with the ipsi-lateral knee and 18 times with the contralateral knee. All early complications, within the first 90 days post-operatively, were recorded: death, phlebitis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, surgical site infection (SSI), knee stiffness treated by mobilization under general anesthesia, urinary tract infection, acute urine retention or any other adverse event related to care. Transfusion rates were also reported.
Results: The rate of early complications was 9.8% (5/51). No deaths, no phlebitis, no pulmonary embolism and no SSI were observed. Complications included one myocardial infarction, one urinary tract infection, one superficial infection, one haematoma treated by surgical evacuation and one recurrent instability requiring revision surgery (hip arthroplasty). The transfusion rate was 17.6% (9/51). The complication rate of ASA 3 patients was higher than that of ASA 1 and 2 patients, while there was no difference related to age or BMI.
Discussion: Our results confirm the feasibility of single-stage hip and knee replacement, with a low complication rate in ASA 1 and 2 patients. This study adds to the few published works on the subject and reports comparable results. The small sample size and the heterogeneity of patients and centers limit the scope of the results, these limitations being relative to the volume expected for a rare procedure.
Conclusion: Single-session hip and knee arthroplasty should be reserved for patients selected according to comorbidities: ASA score, age and body mass index. ASA 3 patients have a higher risk of complications.
Level Of Evidence: IV; retrospective.

Background: Adolescent hip dysplasia is a condition that often affects hip mechanics, leading to loss of function, pain, and early onset osteoarthritis. Objective literature investigating functional activities remains sparse within this population. A traditional body weight deep squat has translation to everyday tasks, is a clinical screening tool, and is also a common pre/rehabilitation exercise.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a prevalent musculoskeletal disease affecting joint mechanics. Considering the effect of step-width changes on the biomechanics of gait, especially the alteration of stability dynamics during narrow-base gait, this study investigated the kinematic parameters of the lower extremities during both normal and narrow-base walking in individuals with and without KOA.
Methods: A cross-sectional study with 20 individuals with bilateral KOA and 20 controls was conducted.

Purpose: To investigate the association between common measures of trunk and lower extremity range of motion (ROM), strength, the results of one-leg jump tests at baseline and the incidence of subsequent substantial knee injuries in adolescent female football players.
Methods: Players were assessed at baseline regarding (1) ROM of trunk, hip, and ankle; (2) trunk, hip, and knee strength; and (3) one-leg jump tests. Players were prospectively monitored weekly for 1 year regarding knee injuries and the volume of matches and training.

The evolution of orthopaedics has witnessed a pronounced shift from generalist practice to subspecialisation, a trend that has fundamentally reshaped the field over the past century. Originally, orthopaedic surgeons were trained to address a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions. However, increasing complexity and specialization in knowledge have driven a progressive narrowing of focus within orthopaedics.
