Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Postoperative anterior knee pain can be challenging after primary total knee arthroplasty. Isolated patellar resurfacing may provide symptomatic improvement in those patients with an unresurfaced patella. Seventeen isolated patellar resurfacing procedures were performed. Patient outcomes were evaluated using the Knee Society clinical and roentgenographic evaluation systems. Continued symptomatology and overall patient satisfaction were also analyzed. No revisions have been necessary at 47 months of follow-up. Overall, Knee Society knee scores and knee function scores significantly improved. Eight patients (53%) are asymptomatic and were satisfied with the procedure, whereas 7 patients (47%) continue to have anterior knee pain and are unsatisfied. Isolated patellar resurfacing for anterior knee pain in total knee arthroplasty with an unresurfaced patella has a low morbidity and revision rate but may not provide patients with predictable symptomatic improvement. |
