About this Procedure
A bilateral total knee replacement replaces both knee joints with artificial ones. In each knee, the NHS explains, the lower end of the thigh bone and the upper end of the shin bone are replaced with metal and plastic parts, and the back of the kneecap may also be resurfaced. Both knees may be replaced during the same hospital admission or in two planned stages, depending on your health and your surgeon's advice.
It may be considered when both knees are painful and stiff enough to have a big effect on your life and other treatments have not worked. Osteoarthritis is the most common cause, and other types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, are less common reasons. Replacing both knees is a bigger undertaking than replacing one, so your fitness for surgery is assessed carefully first.
Knee replacement is performed under a general anaesthetic or a spinal anaesthetic. The NHS says a single knee replacement usually takes about 1 to 2 hours; for both knees, your surgeon will advise how long the operation and hospital stay are likely to be. Physiotherapy begins soon after surgery, and full recovery takes several months.
