The use of advanced orthopaedic technology at University Hospital offers patients with severe hip pain and limited mobility the opportunity to undergo a Bilateral Total Hip Replacement procedure. This SACaccredited hospital was founded in 1842 and is located in Basel, Switzerland. It has a current capacity of 773 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 orthopaedic doctors conduct a thorough assessment before the procedure starts to decide whether the patient is suitable for it.
