Morbidity and mortality after bilateral simultaneous total knee arthroplasty in a fast-track setting

摘要

Background and purposeThe safety aspects of bilateral simultaneous total knee arthroplasty (BSTKA) are still debated. In this retrospective single-center study, we investigated early morbidity and mortality following BSTKA in a modern fast-track setting. We also identified risk factors for re-admission within 90 days and for a length of stay (LOS) of more than 5 days.
