Post-operative Patellar Tilt More than 10° Can Affect Certain Components of Knee Society Score After Total Knee Arthroplasty at 2-Year Follow-Up.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The effect of post-operative patella tilt on functional outcomes after total knee arthroplasty remains unclear. Our study aimed to analyze the relationship of post-operative patellar tilt with functional outcome scores after total knee arthroplasty.

Materials and methods

Patient data were retrieved from our institution's prospectively maintained total knee arthroplasty. Three hundred three patients who underwent unilateral TKA from Jan 2012 to March 2017 were included in the study. After excluding patients with incomplete and lost follow-up data, 213 patients were analyzed. Radiographs of pre-operative and post-operative skyline views were used for patella tilt and patella displacement measurement at pre-op, post-op 1 year, and post-op 2 years. Three functional
