Abstract
BACKGROUND: Selectively resurfacing the patella based on a patient's risk of secondary patella resurfacing (SPR) may be the optimal strategy for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, exactly which factors increase the risk of SPR is unknown. Utilizing New Zealand Joint Registry data, we investigated the following: (1) What patient and surgical factors are more prevalent among TKA patients who received SPR compared to those who did not? and (2) What is the difference in Oxford Knee Scores (OKS) between those who receive SPR and those who do not? METHODS: Prevalence of various patient and surgical factors was compared between 197 non-resurfaced TKAs that proceeded to SPR and 31,399 that did not. Multivariate analysis was used to determine the odds ratio for each factor that differed between groups. Six-month postoperative OKS for each group was utilized for comparison. RESULTS: Posterior-stabilized designs had an odds ratio of 1.86 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.31-2.66; P = .001) when compared to cruciate-retaining designs. When compared to age less than 55, age >75 and age 65-74 had odds ratios of 0.27 (95% CI 0.16-0.46; P < .001) and 0.44 (95% CI 0.28-0.69; P < .001) respectively. Six-month OKS was lower among those who received SPR (37.27 vs 27.26; P < .001). CONCLUSION: Younger age, posterior-stabilized design, and a low 6-month OKS were associated with SPR.
