Wiberg Type III patellae and J-sign during extension compromise outcomes of total knee arthroplasty without patellar resurfacing

Understanding the risk factors associated with postoperative pain and worse outcome can guide surgeons on whether primary patellar resurfacing is warranted during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to determine whether clinical scores and pain after TKA without patellar resurfacing are correlated with patellar shape and postoperative patellar position and kinematics.
