Safety and early outcomes of simultaneous bilateral TKA in patients with BMI > 40: A retrospective comparative study

This study suggests that SBTKA in patients with a BMI > 40 is safe, with no increased complications, similar surgical time, and blood loss. Significant functional improvement was observed at one year postoperatively. While promising, further multi-center studies are needed to confirm these findings and evaluate long-term outcomes.

Abstract

This study suggests that SBTKA in patients with a BMI > 40 is safe, with no increased complications, similar surgical time, and blood loss. Significant functional improvement was observed at one year postoperatively. While promising, further multi-center studies are needed to confirm these findings and evaluate long-term outcomes.
