A randomized controlled trial comparing patellar retention versus patellar resurfacing in primary total knee arthroplasty: 5–10 year follow-up
BMC Res Notes. 2012 Jun 7;5:273. doi: 10.1186/1756-0500-5-27338 total knee arthroplasty patients with non-inflammatory arthritis were randomized to either patellar resurfacing or to patellar retention to compare functional and revision outcomes over a 10 year time period. Despite the diminishing health, in a ten year follow-up, the results showed that knee pain, stiffness, and function improved in both groups, with no significant differences between them. Both treatment methods had similar revision rates, all occurring within the first 5-years.
