The use of advanced orthopaedic technology at Meliva Kardiolita Hospital, Kaunas has made it possible for people experiencing severe hip pain and limited mobility to undergo a Bilateral Total Hip Replacement procedure. This JCIaccredited hospital was founded in 1998 and is located in Kaunas, Lithuania. It has a current capacity of 8 beds.

The entire procedure involves swapping the two damaged hips with artificial implants. It is possible to perform bilateral replacement in one single operation or as two separate ones depending on the patient’s condition. The orthopedic doctors conduct a thorough assessment before the procedure starts to decide whether the patient is suitable for it.
