Letter to the editor regarding “Safety of one-stage bilateral total knee arthroplasty -one surgeon sequential vs. two surgeons simultaneous: a randomized controlled study”

Excerpt

We read with great interest an article titled “Safety of one-stage bilateral total knee arthroplasty -one surgeon sequential vs. two surgeons simultaneous: a randomized controlled study” by Uzer et al. [1] published in the July 2020 issue of the journal and would like to congratulate the authors for their study. The authors performed a prospective randomized study to detect the differences between two-surgeon bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and single-surgeon bilateral TKA in terms of complication rate and functional scores in the early post-operative follow-up. The most important finding of the study was that two-surgeon bilateral TKA on the earliest post-operative follow-up had significantly lower major complication rates and operating times than single-surgeon bilateral TKA. Although they have touched a highly pertinent topic in a scientific manner, the study has brought an important issue that we would like to communicate with the authors. …
