Abstract:Background: No consensus has been reached on which is better in terms of functional outcomes between simultaneous bilateral and unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

This study aimed to compare time courses in functional outcomes between simultaneous bilateral TKA and unilateral TKA after matching the patient characteristics.Me… Show more
