Abstract

The number of patients requiring bilateral Total knee arthroplasty has increased over past decade. Controversy surrounds the safety of bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and whether staging the procedures one week apart represents a safer option. We evaluated the Clinical Outcome and Safety of Bilateral Staged TKR Done In Single Admission In Old Age Patients With Multiple Co Morbidities.

Conclusion: Staged procedures are particularly attractive for those with medical comorbidities precluding a simultaneous operation. The prerequisite is suitable patient selection and perioperative protocol. 1 week-stage, bilateral TKRs can be recommended to patients who fulfil the selection criteria and could benefit patients and the entire healthcare system which can help in better rehabilitation and better patient satisfaction
