Association Between Simultaneous Bilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty Without Any Anticoagulant or Antiplatelet Therapy and Deep Venous Thrombosis: A Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association of simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) with postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) remains controversial. The aim of the study is to determine whether simultaneous bilateral THA without chemoprophylaxis has a higher risk than unilateral THA without chemoprophylaxis.

Methods

This is a population-based retrospective cohort study of all adults who underwent primary THA without any anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy between July 2012 and March 2021 at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Toranomon Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. The association of simultaneous bilateral THA with postoperative DVT was examined by unadjusted analysis and overlap propensity score weighting. The primary outcome was the incidence of DVT (confirmed by ultraso
