Abstract

Anterior knee pain, as well as patellofemoral disorders, after total knee arthroplasty are important reasons for revision in total knee arthroplasty. Current prosthesis designs include patellar components for patella replacement, and together with improved rational design of the prosthesis and advancement in knee alignment these appear to reduce the incidence of anterior knee pain following total knee replacement, even if the etiology of anterior knee pain remains unclear. However, new complications related to patella resurfacing emerge with this approach. At present, there are three strategies involving patella replacement in total knee arthroplasty: There are surgeons who always replace the patella, others who never resurface the patella and a third group of surgeons who usually do not resurface the patella but replace the patella in particular situations. There are arguments to support each of these viewpoints regarding patella resurfacing but no strong arguments to favor any of them. Finally, the decision to resurface the patella or not should be based on the practice, training and experience of individual surgeons. The aim of this review was to analyze the results of different strategies for patella resurfacing in terms of functional outcome and revision rate following primary total knee arthroplasty.
