Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2016 Jan;24(1):141-75 randomized controlled trials comparing patellar eversion and non-eversion in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty were included. The purpose of this study was to determine if patellar eversion was associated with negative clinical outcomes when compared to patellar non-eversion.

Qualitative assessments displayed no significant differences between groups in hip function, quality of life, quadriceps strength, patellar height, and radiographic alignment.
