Are Functional Outcomes of a Total Hip Arthroplasty Predictive of a Contralateral Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Cohort Study

BACKGROUND: Current literature suggests that 8%-35% of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) undergo a subsequent contralateral THA. This study aims to determine if functional outcomes after primary THA predict outcomes in the subsequent primary THA of the contralateral side. METHODS: A retrospective cohort of patients undergoing staged bilateral primary THA was reviewed. The Oxford Hip Score (OHS) was utilized as the functional …
