  • Routine Patellar Resurfacing During Total Knee Arthroplasty is not Cost-Effective in Patients without Patellar Arthritis by Harold I. Salmons, BS; Benjamin Zmistowski, MD; Yale A. Fillingham, MD; Derek Ward, MD; Robert P. Good, MD; and Jess H. Lonner, MD

    Routine Patellar Resurfacing During Total Knee Arthroplasty is not Cost-Effective in Patients without Patellar Arthritis

    Harold I. Salmons, BS; Benjamin Zmistowski, MD; Yale A. Fillingham, MD; Derek Ward, MD; Robert P. Good, MD; and Jess H. Lonner, MD

    • During total knee arthroplasty (TKA), whether or not one should routinely resurface the patella is controversial.
    • Leaving an unresurfaced patella following index TKA may lead to anterior knee pain (AKP), patellofemoral crepitus, and future secondary resurfacing operations.
    • However, routinely resurfacing the patella (PR) may lead to patellar fracture, aseptic loosening, patellar instability, avascular necrosis, and patellar clunk.
    • The purpose of the present study is to utilize the existing level one evidence to assess the cost-utility of routine patella resurfacing during primary TKA.
    • Hypothesis: Selective resurfacing of the patella is more cost effective than routine patellar resurfacing during primary TKA.
