Core Tip	We investigated the functional outcomes and knee awareness of patients who had undergone simultaneous bilateral compared with those who had undergone unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA). To accomplish this, we used the well-known Oxford Knee Score and the recently introduced Forgotten Joint Score (FJS). The FJS is based on a novel concept, or a patient’s ability to forget about an artificial joint as a result of successful treatment; this result is considered as the ultimate goal of joint replacement surgery. No differences in final outcomes were observed between the groups. Therefore, individuals for whom bilateral TKA is indicated should be offered this option.
