This study aimed to examine the complications by comparing two surgeons simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (two-surgeon bilateral TKA) to one surgeon sequential bilateral total knee arthroplasty (single-surgeon bilateral TKA).
Two hundred forty-six participants were prospectively randomized into two groups: two-surgeon bilateral TKA and single-surgeon bilateral TKA. While two surgeons performed simultaneous total knee arthroplasty in the two-surgeon bilateral TKA group, one surgeon performed sequentially in the single-surgeon bilateral TKA group. Ninety-day major, and minor complications rate, operative time, estimated blood loss (EBL) and patient-reported outcome measures were analysed.
The two surgeons operated in two-surgeon bilateral TKA group 246 knees in 123 patients, while the single surgeon operated in single-surgeon bilateral TKA group 246 knees of 123 patients. The median operating time was 120 (range 70-151) minutes in the two-surgeon bilateral TKA group and 140 (range 75-190) minutes in the single-surgeon bilateral TKA group (p < 0.001). The median EBL was higher in the two-surgeon bilateral TKA group (p < 0.001). The 90-day complications were two major complications (1.6%) in the two-surgeon bilateral TKA group and 11 (8.9%) in the single-surgeon bilateral TKA group (p = 0.01).
Two-surgeon simultaneous bilateral TKA is a safe method with lower complication rates compared with single-surgeon sequential bilateral TKA and can be preferred for experienced teams. However, peri- and post-operative care is required to decrease the risk of bleeding, particularly in patients undergoing two-surgeon simultaneous bilateral TKA.

本研究旨在通过比较两名外科医生同时进行双侧全膝关节置换术(双外科医生双侧 TKA)与一名外科医生序贯双侧全膝关节置换术(单外科医生双侧 TKA),来探讨并发症。
246 名参与者被前瞻性随机分为两组:双外科医生双侧 TKA 和单外科医生双侧 TKA。在双外科医生双侧 TKA 组中,两名外科医生同时进行全膝关节置换术,而在单外科医生双侧 TKA 组中,一名外科医生依次进行手术。分析 90 天主要和次要并发症发生率、手术时间、估计失血量(EBL)和患者报告的结果测量。
双外科医生在双外科医生双侧 TKA 组中为 123 名患者的 246 个膝关节进行了手术,而单外科医生在单外科医生双侧 TKA 组中为 123 名患者的 246 个膝关节进行了手术。双外科医生双侧 TKA 组的中位手术时间为 120(范围 70-151)分钟,单外科医生双侧 TKA 组为 140(范围 75-190)分钟(p<0.001)。双外科医生双侧 TKA 组的中位 EBL 更高(p<0.001)。双外科医生双侧 TKA 组有 2 例(1.6%)重大并发症,单外科医生双侧 TKA 组有 11 例(8.9%)(p=0.01)。
与单外科医生序贯双侧 TKA 相比,双外科医生同时进行双侧 TKA 是一种安全的方法,其并发症发生率较低,可优先用于经验丰富的团队。然而,需要进行围手术期和术后护理,以降低出血风险,特别是在接受双外科医生同时进行双侧 TKA 的患者中。
