Resuming Elective Orthopaedic Surgery During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Guidelines Developed by the International Consensus Group (ICM).

The Journal of bone and joint surgery. American volume·2020

Simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may increase risks. This procedure should be reserved for carefully selected patients due to higher morbidity and mortality rates.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Arthroplasty Research
  • Patient Safety in Surgery

Background:

  • Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure.
  • Simultaneous bilateral TKA involves replacing both knees in a single operation.
  • The safety and efficacy of this approach require careful consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current role and risks associated with simultaneous bilateral TKA.
  • To determine if the benefits of simultaneous bilateral TKA outweigh the potential risks.
  • To provide an evidence-based opinion on patient selection for this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Review of available evidence on simultaneous bilateral TKA.
  • Analysis of morbidity and mortality data associated with the procedure.

  • Clinical opinion based on current literature and surgical experience.

    • Main Results:

    • Available evidence suggests simultaneous bilateral TKA is associated with increased risks.
    • Higher rates of morbidity and mortality are indicated compared to unilateral TKA.
    • The procedure is not suitable for the general patient population undergoing TKA.

    Conclusions:

    • Simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty carries a significant risk.
    • This surgical option should be reserved for a select group of patients.
    • Careful patient selection is crucial to mitigate potential adverse outcomes.
