Patellar Resurfacing in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Meta-analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis of 50 Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

During total knee arthroplasty, femur and tibia parts are regularly replaced, while resurfacing the patellar or not is an ongoing discussion. To compare revision rate, anterior knee pain rate, patient-reported outcome measures, complication, radiographic, and clinical outcomes after patellar resurfacing versus non-resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty.

Methods

PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and CINAHL databases were searched on 25 April 2021 to enroll randomized controlled trials that compared patellar resurfacing versus non-resurfacing. We used the grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation (GRADE) framework to assess the certainty of evidence. Our primary outcome was revision rate and secondary outcomes was anterior knee pain rate. Outc
