ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

The degree of osteoarthritis (OA) acceptable to leave in a native patella during unresurfaced total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains unknown. This study's purpose was to examine the effect of patellofemoral OA severity on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in primary TKAs performed without patellar resurfacing.

METHODS:

One hundred ninety-three primary TKAs performed without patellar resurfacing were retrospectively reviewed. Preoperative patellofemoral OA severity was graded on severity, marginal osteophytes, joint space narrowing, and chondral damage using accepted grading systems. Patellar tilt and tibiofemoral alignment were measured radiographically. PROMs were evaluated at a minimum of 1-year follow-up.

RESULTS:

In multivariate regression, preoperative lateral patella Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥2 was associated with superior change in Knee Society Score pain with level walking, higher absolute change in Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (P ≤ 0.029), and knees ?always feeling normal" (odds ratio [OR] 3.12; P = 0.005). Osteoarthritis Research Society International atlas grades and Outerbridge classification scores did not significantly influence PROMs.

DISCUSSION:

Worse preoperative OA severity in the lateral patellar facet, graded with the Kellgren-Lawrence system, predicted superior knee-specific PROMs in patients with unresurfaced patellae after contemporary TKA. This observation supports the clinical finding that patients with more severe OA have optimized patient outcomes and highlights the minimal contribution of patella OA to knee function after primary TKA.
