Clinical safety and efficacy of simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty in an Asian population: a propensity score-matched analysis
Patients who underwent BTKA reported similar 30-day complication rates, ICU admissions, and PROMs compared to UTKA. Despite higher LOS, transfusion rates, blood loss, and Hb decrease, BTKA remains a safe, effective option. It should be performed cautiously, considering patient comorbidities and overall health in treating bilateral knee OA.
