Patellar resurfacing provides no noticeable functional benefits in total knee replacement .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Patellar resurfacing in total knee replacement: five-year clinical and economic results of a large randomized controlled trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2011 Aug 17;93(16):1473-81. doi: 10.2106/JBJS.J.007251715 patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomized to either receive patellar resurfacing during the operation or not, to determine whether patellar resurfacing provides significant benefits. The collection of clinical outcomes, complication rates, and health care costs over a 5 year period indicated that the addition of patellar resurfacing during TKA did not significantly change any of the results compared to those who did not receive resurfacing during surgery.
