Abstract
Purpose: A third of knee Osteoarthritis present with bilateral symptomatic arthritis. In these patients, treatment options include either a staged Unilateral Total knee arthroplasty (UTKA) procedure, often with a few months in between surgeries, or a simultaneous Bilateral TKA (BTKA) procedure. Even though the literature regarding the outcomes in BTKA procedure has not consistently been favorable, it remains popular in select patients due to the use of a single anesthetic, a shorter overall surgical time, lower cost and lower overall use of narcotics.
