i agree with LJ about the board certified orthopedic surgeon.
from my experience, when both legs are bad, its best to do them at the same time if possible. a lot of the time when you do one leg, eventually you have to do the other leg a few months later because it gets worse while the first leg is recuperating. they over compensate for the surgery leg which adds more pressure and strain on the "good" leg.
