Abstract
The role of secondary patellar resurfacing (SPR) in anterior knee pain (AKP) is still debated in literature. A regional arthroplasty registry was investigated, aiming to: (1) assess the survival rate of SPR; and (2) compare SPR to tricompartmental TKA. The regional arthroplasty registry RIPO was investigated about all SPRs performed after bicompartmental arthroplasty. The survival rates and the reasons for revision were assessed as any other factor that could have influenced implants failure. SPR survivorship was compared to tricompartmental TKAs. 406 SPRs performed after bicompartmental arthroplasty were analyzed. The survival rates were 80.6% (CI 95% 75.9-84.5) at 5years and 77.6% (CI 95% 72.4-82) at 7years. Half of the SPRs was performed 0.9-2.4years after the index bicompartmental arthroplasty. SPR achieved lower survival than tricompartmental TKA (80.6% vs 96.7%, p < 0.001), with an adjusted hazard ratio for failure of 5.5 (CI 95% 4.2-7.1, p < 0.001). SPRs performed within 2years after primary implant had a significantly higher rates of failure when compared to tricompartmental TKA (HR: 6.4, CI 95% 4.8-8.4, p < 0.001). SPR after bicompartmental knee arthroplasty showed modest 5- and 7-year survival rates, worse than primary tricompartmental TKA. When SPRs are performed within 2years after primary arthroplasty, a significant higher risk of failure should be expected, highlighting than appropriate pre-operative work-up and patient selection is crucial for SPR successful outcome.
