42. BILATERAL TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY USING SUPERPATH APPROACH FOR FEMORAL HEAD AVASCULAR NECROSIS AT TAM ANH HO CHI MINH CITY HOSPITAL: FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES AND COMPLICATIONS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a viable option for patients with severe bilateral hip disease to enhance function and quality of life. This study evaluates the functional outcomes and complications associated with simultaneous bilateral THA using the SuperPATH approach at Tam Anh General Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City.
Objectives: To assess the functional outcomes, surgical parameters, and complications of simultaneous bilateral THA using the SuperPATH approach in patients with bilateral femoral head avascular necrosis.
Methods: This observational, prospective, case-control study involved 30 patients who underwent simultaneous bilateral THA with the SuperPATH approach. Functional outcomes were evaluated using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) preoperatively and postoperatively. Surgical parameters, complications, blood loss, and hospital stay duration were recorded and analyzed.
Results: Significant improvement in HHS, minimal complications, and fast recovery times were observed. The only recorded complication was one case of anesthesia-related issues, with no major surgical complications.
Conclusion: The SuperPATH approach for simultaneous bilateral THA provides promising outcomes with low complication rates, supporting its use as a safe and effective approach for patients with bilateral femoral head avascular necrosis.
