“…While some studies have shown that the incidence of anterior knee pain and reoperation rate in patients with patellar resurfacing is lower than in patients without patellar resurfacing [ 3 ], complications following patellar replacement such as periprosthetic fracture, avascular necrosis, aseptic loosening, and postoperative infection are higher [ 4 - 6 ]. Studies also demonstrate that the incidence of patellofemoral clunk in the resurfaced group was significantly greater than in the group without patellar resurfacing [ 7 ]. Advocates of leaving the patella alone argue that patellar resurfacing provides no advantages in functional outcomes, reoperation rate, or overall healthcare cost, and is instead linked to more complications [ 8 ].…”

This paper seeks to address the effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when performed without patellar resurfacing. The objective of this article is to investigate the effect of total knee arthroplasty without patellofemoral resurfacing on postoperative outcome.All patients with degenerative knee osteoarthritis (OA) that underwent TKA without patellar resurfacing were included in the study. The clinical data of 163 patients, including 98 females and 65 males with a mean age of 63 years (range 54-78 years) were retrospectively analyzed from April 2008 to April 2011. Intraoperative cartilage degeneration according to Outerbridge classification criteria was as follows: 22 cases of grade I, 38 cases of grade II, 64 cases of grade III, 39 cases of grade IV. There were no significant differences in gender, age, and side differences between the patients at all levels (P > 0.05). The duration of tourniquet use and related complications were recorded. Knee function was assessed using the American Knee Society Scoring System (KSS) and the patellar score (PS). Patient satisfaction and knee pain were assessed by the pain visual analog scale (VAS). The evaluation was conducted using routine X-ray film to observe the position of the prosthesis and the patella. Statistical analysis used included a comparison between groups by analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) test and comparison of grade data using the rank-sum test.The average tourniquet time was 125 minutes, with a range of 90-150 minutes. All the incisions healed with primary intention without early complications. All patients were followed for two to five years with an average of 3.6 years. At six months and at the last follow-up, the KSS and PS scores were significantly higher than those before surgery (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the sixth month and the last follow-up (P > 0.05). There were significant differences in preoperative KSS and PS scores between patients with different grades of cartilage degeneration (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference at the last follow-up (P > 0.05). At the last follow-up, seven patients had persistent anterior knee pain, five patients had mild pain, and two patients had moderate pain according to the VAS assessment criteria. Patient satisfaction evaluation was as follows: 90 patients were very satisfied, 66 patients were satisfied, five patients were uncertain, and two patients were unsatisfied. There were no significant differences in satisfaction and knee pain between patients with different grades of patellofemoral degeneration (P > 0.05).In conclusion, at six months and at the last follow-up, outcome measures for patients were significantly higher than before surgery for TKA without the use of patellar resurfacing and the majority of patients were satisfied with the outcome of the procedure. TKA continues to be a successful procedure without the use of patellar resurfacing.
