Miller-Galante typeII total knee replacement (TKR) has been performed in our department since March 1991. We report our evaluation of TKR performed for rheumatoid arthritis particularly looking at bilateral TKR carried out at the same time (B-TKR).
B-TKR is compared to unilateral TKR and gradual bilateral TKR in this report.
We found that B-TKR has the advantages of decreasing the patient's physical, mental and economic burden. However, it increases the surgical and anesthetic burden.
