ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Various patellar designs are used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for optimal management of patellofemoral pain. The aim of this study was to compare postoperative 2-year clinical outcomes of 3 patellar designs medialized anatomic (MA), medialized dome (MD), and Gaussian dome (GD).METHODS:
In this randomized controlled trial, 153 patients undergoing primary TKA from 2015 to 2019 were enrolled. Patients were allocated to 3 groups (MA, MD, and GD). Demographic characteristics, clinical variables including knee flexion angle and patient-reported outcome measures (Kujala score, Knee Society Scores, the Hospital for Special Surgery score, and The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index), and complications were collected. Radiologic parameters including Blackburne-Peel ratio and patellar tilt angle (PTA) were measured. A total of 139 patients who completed postoperative follow-up for 2 years were analyzed.RESULTS:
Knee flexion angle and patient-reported outcome measures did not statistically differ among the 3 groups (MA, MD, and GD). There were no extensor mechanism-related complications at any group. Group MA showed significantly higher mean values of postoperative PTA than group GD (0.1 ± 3.2 versus -1.8 ± 3.4, P = .011). Group GD (20.8%) had a tendency to have more outliers (over 5 degrees) in PTA than groups MA (10.6%) and MD (4.5%), although the differences were not statistically significant (P = .092).CONCLUSION:
Anatomic patellar design was not clinically superior over dome design in TKA, showing comparable results in terms of clinical scores, complications, and radiographic indices.Palavras-chave
