Bilateral hip arthroplasty by minimally invasive anterior technique in male patients

Abstract

Introduction: Bilateral hip arthroplasty using a minimally invasive technique in men represents a surgical challenge due to its infrequency. Objective: To report a case of bilateral coxarthrosis to which bilateral hip arthroplasty was applied by means of a minimally invasive anterior technique. Case presentation: 71-year-old male patient, athlete, active worker and with no medical history. He presented joint pain in the hips until reaching intradomiciliary limitations. X-rays showed severe bilateral coxarthrosis. A bilateral arthroplasty was performed in a surgical time using a minimally invasive anterior technique. Conclusion: Bilateral hip arthroplasty in a surgical time using the minimally invasive anterior technique allows rapid training underway, and restart of work and physical life. © 2023, Editorial Ciencias Medicas.
