Investigation of the Optimal Interval for Staged Total Knee Arthroplasty for the Treatment of Advanced Bilateral Gonarthrosis.

CONCLUSIONS Even though a number of factors influence the optimal interval for staged TKAs in bilateral gonarthrosis, an interval of 91-270 days appears to be the optimal interval between surgeries in terms of minimizing pain and maximizing ADL s and knee scores. Key words: bilateral total knee arthroplasty, optimal interval, knee society scores, activities of daily living. PMID: 32773022 [PubMed - in process]
