Systematic review of patellar resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty.
Controversies existing over resurfacing the patella in total knee arthroplasty remain in the literature. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the effectiveness of resurfacing versus nonresurfacing the patella in total knee arthroplasty. We searched the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE and EMBASE for published randomised clinical trials relevant to patellar resurfacing. The relative risk of reoperation was significantly lower for the patellar resurfacing group than for the nonresurfacing group (relative risk 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.38-0.84, P =0.004). The overall incidence of postoperative anterior knee pain of the 1,421 knees included was 12.9% in the patellar resurfacing group and 24.1% in the nonresurfacing group. The existing evidence indicates that patellar resurfacing can reduce the risk of reoperation with no improvement in postoperative knee function or patient satisfaction over total knee arthroplasty without patellar resurfacing. Whether it can decrease the incidence of anterior knee pain remains uncertain.
