Clinical Trial Summary

Short and long term outcomes of total knee arthroplasty patients surgically exposed with patellar eversion are compared to those patients exposed by laterally retracting the patella. It was hypothesized that there would be no difference.


Clinical Trial Description

Background:

Patellar mobilization during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been debated, with some proponents of minimally invasive TKA suggesting that laterally retracting, rather than everting the patella may be beneficial. It was our hypothesis that by using randomized, prospective, blinded study methods, there would be no significant difference in clinical outcome measures based solely on eversion of the patella during total knee arthroplasty.

Methods:

After an a priori power analysis was done, 120 primary total knee replacements indicated for degenerative joint disease were included in the study and randomized to one of two patella exposure techniques: lateral retraction or eversion. Collaborating investigators and patients were blinded to randomization. ;
