Fracture of the patella treated by total excision. A long-term follow-up. Abstract Text:

J Wilkinson,

Thirty-one patients have been reviewed four and a half to thirteen years after total excision of the patella for fracture. This operation did not give the uniformly excellent results previously reported by some authors. The type of incision used was unimportant in the long term. Immobilisation in plaster-of-Paris for any period between one and eight weeks after operation had no adverse effect on the long-term results. There was no correlation between the amount of calcification or ectopic bone formation found in the patellar tendon and the degree of function or discomfort in the joint. There was no evidence that osteoarthritis is an inevitable sequel to patellectomy in man. Maximal recovery of knee function may take up to three years after patellectomy. In this series 22% of patients had excellent results, 39% good results and 39% poor results, according to defined criteria. The implications of these findings are discussed.
