Double TKR are an entirely different game. In my opinion, your body has a harder time recovering from that type of operation and the chances are less likely to get to the point that others will.
Like I said, this is my opinion and there probably isn't any research on that statement. In my experience, double TKR don't get as much ROM as a single does therefor the kneeling is also harder to do. 1 year after do they? Never have had the opportunity to re-measure to see. Would be interesting for me to check out sometime though
