Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Introduction
Simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (bTKA) is a viable option for treatment of bilateral knee osteoarthritis. The aim of this study is to identify the impact of biological sex on postoperative outcomes.Methods
A retrospective cohort study was conducted utilizing the ACS-NSQIP database. bTKA patients were identified and stratified into groups based upon biological sex. Adverse events after surgery was evaluated with univariate and multivariate analysis.Results
Biological sex is not an independent risk factor for development of postoperative complications.Conclusion
When determining patient qualification of simultaneous or staged bTKA, biological sex should not be taken into consideration.
