Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2017
For decades there have been concerns about patellar resurfacing (PR) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and the individual preference of the surgeon is still the main determinant of whether or not resurfacing is applied. According to preference, surgeons can be categorized in 3 main groups of those who usually, selectively or rarely resurface. The aim of this prospective, randomized, controlled study to is compare the isokinetic performance and clinical outcome of TKAs with PR and without PR.
