Resurfacing versus not-resurfacing the patella in one-stage bilateral total knee arthroplasty: a prospective randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Resurfacing the patella in one-stage bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains debatable. This study aimed to assess the mid-term outcomes of patients after one-stage bilateral TKA performed with and without patellar resurfacing, respectively, with at least five years of follow-up.

Methods

Sixty-six patients (132 knees) scheduled for first-ever one-stage bilateral TKA due to osteoarthritis received patellar resurfacing and retention, respectively, on one knee and the other, randomly selected. All patients received Scorpio NRG knee prostheses and were evaluated by radiology (anteroposterior, lateral, and axial views) pre-operatively and yearly post-operatively, for at least five years. Knee Society Score and Feller Score values were measured. Anterior knee pain,
