You’re correct re. doing one TKR at a time. Most experienced & responsible surgeons will not do two TKRS together. It is too great a risk, (far more time under anesthesia, more blood loss, greater risk of infection, etc.). In addition, recovery is very difficult in so many ways. If you find a surgeon who says he/she will do two at the same time, I’d cross that surgeon off my list!
