Clinical Implications of Anthropometric Patellar Dimensions for TKA in Asians

摘要: Anthropometric patellar dimensions can influence implant design and surgical techniques in resurfacing for TKA. We measured anthropometric 752 osteoarthritic knees (713 females 39 males) treated with TKA 466 Korean patients compared them reported Western patients. investigated the effects of postoperative overall thickness deviations, residual bony after bone resection, deviations component center positions from median ridge versus clinical radiographic outcomes evaluated 1 year surgery. undergoing had thinner smaller patellae than found no associations between preoperative to differences a 12 mm or greater less mm, exception WOMAC pain scores. position outcomes. Our findings indicate resection be flexible without jeopardizing outcome.
