title: Simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty with hydroxyapatite coated implants.
abstract: Thirty patients (60 hips) who underwent simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty with hydroxyapatite components were followed from 24 to 78 months (mean: 49 months). All patients showed improvement in postoperative hip score rating compared to preoperative for pain, function, and range of motion. Postoperative complications were minimal compared to other series. There were no thromboembolic complications. Heterotopic bone was noted in 18 hips (30%). At latest follow up no patients had radiographic evidence of component loosening.
