Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is considered to be the best method for treating advanced knee osteoarthritis in terms of reducing pain, improving joint functions, and increasing the patient’s quality of life
Highlights
Introduction and AimThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of the medial parapatellar (MPP) approach and the subvastus (SV) approach, which are frequently used in total knee arthroplasty, with patellofemoral complications and to compare patient satisfaction
The SV approach is advantageous over the MPP approach in reducing patellofemoral complications
The SV approach decreased patellofemoral complications, it may have increased other complications associated with total knee arthroplasty
Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of the medial parapatellar (MPP) approach and the subvastus (SV) approach, which are frequently used in total knee arthroplasty, with patellofemoral complications and to compare patient satisfaction. The most commonly used approach in TKA is the standard medial parapatellar (MPP) approach described by Insall [2]. Described the subvastus (SV) approach, which can preserve blood flow to the patella and result in better alignment of the patella by preserving muscle function [4]. Both surgical procedures have potential clinical advantages, and it is not yet clear which has better clinical outcomes [6]
