Abstract:
Objective To compare the clinical safety and efficacy of simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and staged bilateral TKA in treatment of both knee osteoarthritis.Methods A total of 119 patients (14 males,105 females) with both knee osteoarthritis who underwent TKA from March 2005 to March 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Their ages ranged from 30 to 81 years with the average age of 65.23±6.33 years.The patients were divided into three groups according to different treaments:simultaneous bilateral TKA group,staged bilateral TKA group during the same hospitalization period and staged bilateral TKA group in two separate hospitalization periods.All the procedures were performed by the same surgeons and the same type of prostheses (LPS-Flex,Zimmer,US) were implanted.Differences of preoperative factors (age,height,body mass in dex and complications),treatment factors (preoperative hemoglobin,operation time,drainage volume,blood transfusion volume,total hospitalization time and total hospitalization costs) and postoperative curative effects (HSS scores,WOMAC scores and ROM)among three groups were compared.The analysis of viariace,LSD-t test and x2 test were used for data analysis.Results The differences of gender composition,body mass index,preoperative hemoglobin were not statistically significant among three groups (P＞0.05).The patientsin simultaneous bilateral TKA group were younger,and havelower incidence ofpreoperative complications (P＜0.05).The differences of post-operative HSS scores,WOMAC scores and ROM were not statistically significant among the three groups (P＞0.05).Although the total hospitalization time,operation time were shorter,and the hospitalization costs were significant ly lower in simultaneous bilateral TKA group,the total drainage volume,the total blood transfusion volume and incidence of postoperative complication rate were higher in this group than those of the other two grops (P＜0.05).Conclusion Due to great impact on patients' physiological conditions,more postoperative complication occurrence and high risk of periprosthetic infection,the decision of simultaneous bilateral TKA should be made cautiously.
