Bilateral Knee Prosthesis in Turkey
Restore mobility in both knees with simultaneous bilateral knee replacement surgery.
What is Bilateral Knee Replacement?
Bilateral knee replacement involves replacing both knee joints with artificial prostheses during a single surgical procedure or staged procedures. This approach is used when both knees are severely affected by arthritis or other conditions.
Benefits of Bilateral Replacement
Bilateral replacement allows for a single recovery period, potentially faster overall rehabilitation, coordinated physical therapy for both knees, and can be more cost-effective than two separate surgeries. However, it requires careful patient selection.
The Procedure
Bilateral knee replacement can be performed simultaneously (both knees in one surgery) or staged (one knee at a time with recovery between). The decision depends on your health, age, and surgeon's recommendation. The procedure typically takes 2-4 hours, with a hospital stay of 3-5 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Bilateral Knee Prosthesis
Is bilateral replacement safe?
Bilateral knee replacement is safe for appropriate candidates. Your surgeon will evaluate your overall health, age, and medical conditions to determine if you're a good candidate for simultaneous replacement or if staged procedures would be safer.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery from bilateral replacement is more intensive than single knee replacement. Physical therapy is crucial and begins immediately. Full recovery typically takes 6-12 months, with significant improvement in the first 3-6 months.
