Bilateral knee replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces both of the patient’s knees at the same time. It is typically recommended for patients who have severe arthritis in both knees or other conditions that have caused significant damage to the knee joint. The procedure involves removing the damaged knee joints from both knees and replacing them with artificial knees called prostheses.
Following surgery, the patient may be required to use crutches or a walker for a few weeks, and physical therapy may be recommended to regain strength and mobility. Pain medications may also be necessary for a few weeks. The surgery can help relieve pain and improve movement, allowing the patient to resume normal activities in three to six weeks.
Since knee replacement is a major procedure, complications like infections, blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, nerve damage, and failure of the artificial joint are possible. Hence, it is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with a doctor before making a decision.
