TODO - Purpose: Simultaneous bilateral unicompartmentsl knee arthroplasty (BUKA) is considered safe and effective. We performed a systematic review to assess the postoperative outcomes. Methods: The US National Library of Medicine (PubMed/MEDLINE), Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were queried for publications. Results: Ten articles were included with 765 simultaneous BUKA. Overall complication rate was 7.0%, survivorship was 97.6% at mean 17 months follow-up. No differences were reported between simultaneous and staged BUKA. Conclusion: Simultaneous BUKA is as safe as staged BUKA, it is associated with decreased length of stay and operative time, although it has an increased rate of blood transfusion. © 2021 Professor P K Surendran Memorial Education Foundation
