Knee Replacement
One or both knees may be affected by arthritis. If both knee joints show changes on X-rays and only one knee joint is painful, stiff, and disturbs daily activities of life, then only the painful knee joint should be operated on. If both knees are equally painful, then both should be operated on.
The surgery that replaces both damaged knee joints is called Bilateral Total Knee Replacement bilateral knee surgery is done routinely and it presents one of the most spectacular successes of the total knee replacement surgery.
This is so because two impaired knee joints cause much more symptoms and severe disability. In people with both knee joints affected, they have no healthy leg to rely on during the post operative rehabilitation.
