Intraoperative patellar maltracking and postoperative radiographic patellar malalignment were more frequent in cases of complete medial collateral ligament release in cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty

Abstract: Background Patellar maltracking after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can lead to significant patellofemoral complications such as anterior knee pain, increased component wear, and a higher risk of component loosening, patellar fracture, and instability. This study was to investigate the preoperative and operative variables that significantly affect patellar tracking after cruciate-retaining TKA. Methods We studied 142 knee joints in patients who had… Show more

“…First, most patients in our study were women. Women have a high proportion of osteoarthritis of the knee joint [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. Second, the follow-up period was six weeks, which might be too short to clearly grasp the effects of IV TXA.…”
