The Effect of Patellar Eversion on Functional Outcomes in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty

NCT01777009 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 120

Last updated 2013-01-28

No results posted yet for this study

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.

Conditions

  • Total Knee Replacement
  • Arthroplasty
  • Patella

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Primary Total Knee Replacement Surgery

Patients randomized to the eversion group had patellas everted during the flexion portions of the surgery. Patients randomized to the retraction group had patellas everted only for the patellar resurfacing portions of the surgery. Both groups were mobilized with anterior tibial translation. All other aspects of surgery including postoperative care, anticoagulation, pain control, and physical therapy were done as per standard arthroplasty protocols at our institution.
