Both Knee Replacement
The benefits of Same-Day-Both-Knee Surgery are that it takes you half the time to fully recover from the knee surgery. Although you are out of bed and walking on the second day after surgery and climbing stairs 5 days after surgery, it takes approximately 3 months to fully recover from this surgery and have complete freedom to do what you like.
If you are planning to do one knee surgery at a time, this means it will take (3+3) 6 months for full recovery!. Of course not everyone is fit enough for both knee surgery. But if you are a fit person, then it makes sense to have both knees operated at the same time. Most of my patients prefer both knee surgery on the same day and if they are fit I offer it to them.
