Bilateral Charnley arthroplasty as a single procedure. A report on 400 patients
A series of 400 patients (average age 57.7 years) with bilateral low-friction arthroplasties of the hip has been reviewed. Comparison was made with similar unilateral operations. The results showed that the bilateral arthroplasties can be carried out as a single operation without higher risk of local or general complications. However, this excludes the incidence of pulmonary embolism which is higher for the bilateral replacements. This article has been cited by other articles:
