Patients with bilateral end-stage hip or knee arthritis want to know if it is safe to have bilateral surgery under a single anesthetic, to restore their quality of life as quickly as possible. The purpose of this study was to assess if there is an increase in the rate of postoperative medical adverse events, length of stay (LOS), blood transfusion rate and 30-day readmission rate among patients who undergo 1-stage bilateral total hip arthroplasty (BTHA) and 1-stage bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA) compared with patients who undergo 2-stage BTHA and BTKA.
