Background

There are several surgical options available for patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis including simultaneous bilateral TKA (BTKA) and staged approach. The appropriate and safe time interval between two stages is still controversial. The preset systematic review aims to determine the optimal time interval between two stages of BTKA.

Methods

Pubmed database was searched from 1979 to 2013 for English-language studies that compared the outcomes of each surgical approach. Comparison was carried out on unilateral TKA and two-staged BTKA as well as on different time intervals in two-staged BTKA.
