Core Tip

Core Tip: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most popular and successful treatments for end stage arthritis worldwide. Around one third of patients who undergo TKA will eventually have the contralateral knee replaced. Anecdotal experience has shown that patients tend to report decreased satisfaction following the second TKA procedure (TKA2). The primary aim of this review article was to assess patient satisfaction following TKA2 after staged bilateral knee arthroplasty. Ideally, quantifying reported dissatisfaction as well as reporting associated factors.
