Under questioning by the barrister representing the family, Jennifer Hillier, Khoury confirmed he had performed 94 bilateral knee replacements at the hospital and that three of those patients had died, including Toll.2023 study of complications from total knee replacement surgeries “The orthopaedic scientific literature is full of this sort of reporting … I think when you look at the scientific literature the mortality rate can vary widely but its generally accepted at one in 800 to one in 1,000,” Khoury said.
