This study directly compared the clinical and radiographic results and patient satisfaction of a group of simultaneous, bilateral total knee arthroplasties (92) with a year of surgery matched unilateral total knee arthroplasties (92). Death within 1 month of surgery occurred in 1 bilateral patient and no unilateral patients. Significant cardiorespiratory complications were recorded in 6 bilateral patients and 2 unilateral patients. Patients with pre-existing cardiorespiratory conditions were particularly at risk. Analysis revealed a 98% 7-year survivorship for unilateral procedures and 97% for bilateral. In this study, 95% of bilateral patients stated they would choose the same option again.
