Both hips in a single operation
Many patients have osteoarthritis in both hips. Instead of two separate operations, in suitable patients robotic total hip replacement can be performed on both hips during the same operation.
Advantages
- One anaesthetic
- One hospital stay
- One recovery period
- Balanced walking from the start, with no “good” and “bad” leg
- Shorter total time off work
Which patients are suitable
Simultaneous hip replacement is usually indicated in healthy patients under 75 with no history of heart or lung disease. The final decision is made after a full pre-operative assessment. In some cases it is safer to carry out the two operations at different times.
The operation and recovery
Each hip is planned separately in the TPLAN® software, so that leg length is restored correctly. With the Fast-Track protocol, patients get up and walk from the first day.

Patient testimonials
What our patients say
“I came from the United Kingdom solely to have simultaneous replacement of both hips, and it was, without any doubt, the best decision I have made. Dr Salmas is an exceptional scientist; from the very first moment he inspired trust in me and I felt I was in the best hands. The result speaks for itself. Just three days after the operation I was discharged from the clinic and walked without a walking frame. A big thank you to Dr Salmas for his care and support. I recommend him without reservation to anyone looking for a top orthopaedic surgeon!”
