Cited in Scopus: 2We present a case report of a patient with osteopetrosis and refractory bilateral knees osteoarthritis who underwent bilateral total knee arthroplasties (TKAs). After conservative management has failed, surgical treatment with arthroplasty is an excellent alternative with satisfactory outcomes. TKA in patients with osteopetrosis has only been described in 6 other case studies, none of which underwent bilateral TKA. To perform this procedure, additional attention should be directed toward the presurgical planning because of the amplified difficulty of the procedure and the altered bone biology that increases the risks of intraoperative fractures and markedly extends the time of surgery.
