| Popis: | A bilateral total knee prosthesis procedure can be performed simultaneously in patients with bilateral gonarthrosis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in component alignment between the simultaneous bilateral TKA and unilateral TKA. A total of 20 patients out of 40 underwent simultaneous bilateral TKA, whereas 20 patients had unilateral TKA. The component alignments were compared radiographically. There was no statistically significant difference in the component alignment between the simultaneous bilateral TKA group and the unilateral TKA group. In conclusion, component alignment of the patients with simultaneous bilateral TKA is similar to that of unilateral TKA. © 2010 Springer-Verlag. |
