Agree Dr Duke is great. Some people prefer the side entry surgery, thinking they will heal quicker. Actually, both approaches heal quickly, and the top entry allows the doc to better align the replacement. I think some people just don't want a scar on top of their knee.
By "dual replacements" do you mean both knees at the same time? Doctors VERY seldom will agree to that. I know of one person who got both at once. He is a recently retired police officer, in excellent physical condition. So, if you are young and strong, then maybe a doctor will agree to do both at once. Otherwise, no.
