Simultaneous Bilateral Total hip Arthroplasty in Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis via Direct Anterior Approach: Long-Term Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often results in significant bilateral hip damage, necessitating total hip arthroplasty (THA). Simultaneous bilateral THA offers potential advantages, particularly when executed via the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA). This study aims to assess the functional, radiological, and patient-reported outcomes, along with the complications of bilateral uncemented THA performed via DAA in patients with JIA.

Methods

A retrospective review of 39 patients with JIA who underwent bilateral THA via DAA from January 2006-January 2015 was conducted. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined, focusing on a minimum of 7 years of post-THA follow-up. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Harris Hip Score.
