Management of the patella during total knee arthroplasty is a matter of constant debate. Numerous studies have assessed and compared the mechanical and clinical results of total knee arthroplasty with native as well as resurfaced patellae. However, the consensus has not been reached yet on this subject. This study aims to compare the outcome between patella resurfaced (PR) and non-resurfaced patellae (NPR) after a follow-up of minimum 10 years following total knee arthroplasty.
