Abstract
The degree of LG improvement after initial TKA may indicate the necessity of a second TKA for patients with bilateral osteoarthritis. The current study suggests that simultaneous bilateral TKA is not always necessary for patients with bilateral knee arthritis, and that properly performed rehabilitation such as improving postural sway after initial TKA might attenuate the timing for the second TKA.
