Patellar Resurfacing and Assessment of Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients in King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz University Hospital

The most effective surgical procedure for treating advanced knee osteoarthritis is total knee arthroplasty. On radiographs, knee osteoarthritis was present in about 37% of individuals over the age of 60. This study, a retrospective cohort study, compared the anterior knee pain, range of motion, and abnormal sound among patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery with or without postoperative patellar resurfacing. The King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz University Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has an orthopedic department where the study will be carried out. This study included 80 patients who had undergone total knee replacement surgery, either with or without patellar resurfacing. They were chosen in accordance with specific inclusion criteria, including being elderly patients (over 50) with knee osteoarthritis that was not responding to conservative treatment. Total knee arthroplasty is an effective treatment for advanced knee arthritis, particularly when the contentious patellar resurfacing procedure is used. Non-patellar resurfacing total knee arthroplasty demonstrated in compression a high rate of pain and an inability to achieve full range of motion. Our research supports our main goal, and numerous studies have agreed that patellar resurfacing provides painless treatment and better outcomes for people with knee arthritis.
