Introduction

Bilateral total knee replacement can either be simultaneous, in which both knees are operated in the same sitting, in one day, or staged, in which both knees are operated but not on the same day. With appropriate patient selection, the potential benefits of conducting this procedure in a simultaneous fashion outweigh the possible risks of the procedure. Very few studies have evaluated the results of bilateral knee replacement in a single sitting in Indian population.

Objectives

To determine the functional outcome after simultaneous knee replacement and assessment of the peri and post operative complications

INTRODUCTION:

Cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) is gaining ground over cemented THA. The objective of this study was to assess survival rates of a ceramic on polyethylene THA implant after at least 3 years and to assess changes in acetabular bone structure.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:

Twenty five ceramic-on-polyethylene THA prostheses were implanted between 2010 and 2013. Mean age at the time of operation was 57.9 years. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Harris hip score and Postel Merle d'Aubigné score. For each hip, radiographs were examined for acetabular radiolucent lines, changes in bone structure and trabeculae were assessed comparatively to the other hip and classified from no change to severe osteolysis. Changes in trabeculae served to assess the loads applied to the bone. Polyethylene wear was assessed using the Livermore method.
