Are onsets of complications and revisions increased after simultaneous bilateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in comparison with unilateral procedures?
Simultaneous bilateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasties could significantly reduce, if both joints are affected, the length of hospital stay and, therefore, patient management costs. At the same time, they do not lead to more frequent revisions or complications. The higher transfusion of allogeneic blood units could be reduced to unilateral surgery levels by the application of currently available protocols of autologous blood reinfusion.
The addition of TRT to ChT improved the OS of patients with ED-SCLC. Furthermore, receiving ≥4 cycles of ChT and TRT were independent, favorable prognostic factors for OS.
