Comparison of Operative Times in Primary Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty Performed by a Single Surgeon
Purpose: Prolonged operative time (OT) is associated with adverse complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to determine whether preoperative factors, such as sex, age, body mass index, body weight (BW), body height, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade,...

Sumario: | Purpose: Prolonged operative time (OT) is associated with adverse complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to determine whether preoperative factors, such as sex, age, body mass index, body weight (BW), body height, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade, tibiofemoral angle, hospital for special surgery scores, surgical side, surgical order, and calendar year of surgery, affect OT. Methods: One hundred and nineteen patients (238 knees) with osteoarthritis who underwent staged bilateral primary TKA performed by a single surgeon were evaluated. The medical records of 15 males and 104 females were retrospectively reviewed. All variables were expressed as median (interquartile range). Results: The OT for all TKAs was 57 min (51, 65). The OT on the left side (59 min (52–67)) was longer than that on the right side (55 min (50–62)) (p = 0.015). Multiple regression analysis revealed that longer OT was related to BW (β = 0.488, p < 0.001), calendar year of surgery (β = −0.218, p< 0.001), and operative side (β = −0.151, p = 0.007). The Jonckheere–Terpstra test showed a trend toward decreasing OT with calendar year on the left side (p = 0.037) (surgeon’s non-dominant side), but not on the right (p = 0.795). Body height, BW, and body mass index showed weak correlations (r = 0.212, p = 0.001; r = 0.352, p < 0.001; r = 0.290, p < 0.001, respectively) with OT. Conclusion: Patients with a large physique, and especially obesity, with an affected knee on the surgeon’s non-dominant side may require a longer OT; OT decreased over time. |
