Background  The purpose of this study is to analyze clinical and radiological outcomes of patients (with a minimum of 14 years of follow-up) who underwent cruciate-retaining (CR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using a NexGen®-CR, comparing a patellar resurfacing group with a patellar retention group.    Methods  From June 1996 to April 2002, 116 cases of TKA using a NexGen®-CR who had at least 14 years of follow-up were enrolled in this study. Among them, 68 cases had patellar resurfacing and 48 had patellar retention. The average follow-up period was 14.8 years (14.1–18.7). Clinical scores and range of motion (ROM) were evaluated preoperatively and at the last follow-up in all patients. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, Knee Society Score (KSS), Western Ontario and MacMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) score, and a new patellar score were assessed. Radiological evaluations are done by analyzing the tibiofemoral angle, loosening, and a radiolucent line on the radiograph by American Knee Society Roentgen Graphic Evaluation.    Results  The average HSS score of both the patellar resurfacing group and retention group increased from 42.3 and 41.2 preoperatively to 90.2 and 90.8 at the last follow-up, respectively. The KSS, WOMAC score, patellar score, and knee joint ROM also improved significantly in both groups. However, there were no significant differences in clinical results between the two groups. On the radiological evaluation, the tibiofemoral angle in both groups had improved from varus 7.8° and 7.2° preoperative to valgus 4.9° and 4.8°, respectively. The average angles of  α ,  β ,  γ , and  δ  were 94.1°, 90.4°, 3.2°, and 87.8° in the patellar resurfacing group and 94.4°, 89.8°, 3.3°, and 88.1° in the patellar retention group, respectively. A radiolucent line shown on radiograph was noted in a total of seven cases, three in the patellar resurfacing group and four in the patellar retention group. In the patellar resurfacing group, among the seven zones on the tibia radiograph, all cases were located at the medial side of tibia and two cases were in zone 1 and one case in zone 2, and in the patellar retention group, three cases were in zone 1 and 1 case was in zone 2, also located on the same side.    Conclusions  We achieved satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes on long-term follow-up when performing TKAs with a NexGen®-CR. There was no significant difference in clinical or radiological results between the patellar resurfacing and retention groups in our study.
