Walking ability after total hip replacement. A comparison of gait analysis in unilateral and bilateral cases

A Wykman and E Olsson

Department of Orthopaedics, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden.

We studied 50 patients before and after unilateral total hip replacement, and compared them, using gait analysis, with 22 having staged bilateral operations. The average age of the patients was 65 years at the first operation. The mean follow-up was 53 months for the unilateral cases and 27 months, after the second THR, for the bilateral cases. The average interval between first and second THR was 24 months. Patients with bilateral hip disease did not gain optimal function, even on the first side, until both hips had been replaced. Unilateral replacement gave better gait analysis results than did either side after bilateral procedures.
