Although it has been shown that the risk of anterior knee pain is greater in patients with nonresurfaced patellae, it is not exactly clear whether the pain would resolve with secondary resurfacing of the patella. Thirty-nine patients (41 knees) underwent secondary patellar resurfacing between January 2001 and January 2007. The mean age was 66 years. The mean body mass index was 29.2 kg/m(2). The average time from primary total knee arthroplasty to resurfacing procedure was 29 months. The mean follow-up was 54 months. Anterior knee pain was the indication for secondary resurfacing in all patients. Although the clinical and functional knee scores improved significantly for whole cohort, 8 patients (8 knees) were dissatisfied with the outcome of surgery. This study highlights that secondary resurfacing is not an always rewarding procedure and patients need to be consulted appropriately with regard to the outcome.

Aims: While cementless fixation offers potential advantages over cemented fixation, such as a shorter operating time, concerns linger over its higher cost and increased risk of periprosthetic fractures. If the risk of fracture can be forecasted, it would aid the shared decision-making process related to cementless stems. Our study aimed to develop and validate predictive models of periprosthetic femoral fracture (PPFF) necessitating revision and reoperation after elective total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Aim The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the mid-term implant survivability, rate of revisions, and clinical and functional outcomes following patella resurfacing during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) utilizing posterior stabilized (PS) total knee system (TKS). Methods A prospective, single-arm, multi-center, post-marketing surveillance encompassed patients with end-stage primary knee osteoarthritis (OA) or inflammatory arthritis. The time points of the study included baseline, six weeks, six months, one year, and three years post-operatively.

Background: Routine patellar resurfacing remains controversial in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study reports the experience of a high-volume arthroplasty surgeon who stopped routinely resurfacing patellae for a 3-year period.
Methods: All primary TKAs performed by a single surgeon between January 2018 and September 2022 with minimum 1-year follow-up were retrospectively reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 55 patients underwent PPF surgery, with a complication rate of 9.1%, and no significant risk factors associated with complications were identified.
- * The findings suggest that PPFs are a safe and effective method for donor site closure, allowing surgeons to perform larger flap harvests without major risks of deformities or functional impairments in patients.
