Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A consecutive series of 289 Miller-Galante (Zimmer, Warsaw, IN) total knee arthroplasties were studied, with particular reference to the patellofemoral joint. Sixteen knees were initially excluded; the remaining 273 arthroplasties were followed for 14 to 44 months. Thirty patients (11%) had patellofemoral pain. Twenty patients (7.3%) had revision patellofemoral surgery. Fourteen patients had revision surgery for patellar maltracking, of which 10 had resolution of their symptoms, 2 were improved, 1 had no change, and 1 developed a prosthetic infection. Six patients who had no evidence of patellar maltracking had revision surgery with a cemented metal-backed patellar component. Only two of these patients had symptom improvement from their revision surgery. A higher than usual incidence of patellar maltracking (5%) is reported. The first-generation Miller-Galante femoral component may contribute to the relative instability of patellofemoral tracking. Those patients with patellar maltracking were greatly improved by revision surgery; the results of revision surgery for anterior knee pain without associated patellar maltracking were disappointing. |
