ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the influence of patellar resurfacing and non-patellar resurfacing on the effect of total knee arthroplasty to provide the evidence-based basis for selecting the clinical treatment scheme.Methods The clinical randomized controlled trials(RCT)on the whether having patellar replacement in total knee arthroplasty were retrieved from the databases of Pubmed,Cochrane,Medline,Embase,CNKI and WanFang data.The screening was independently performed by two researchers according to the including and excluding criterion.The related data were extracted.The reoperation rate,knee joint pain score and knee joint score served as the measurement criteria.The RevMan 5.2 software was adopted to conduct the meta analysis.Results Fifteen literatures were included to analyze,involving 1 788 patients,among them 871 cases were in the patellar resurfacing group and 917 case sin the non-patellar resurfacing group.The reoperation rate in the patellar resurfacing group was significantly lower than that in the non-patellar resurfacing group(RR=0.50,95 ％CI:0.33-0.76;P =0.001),moreover the knee joint function was significantly improved(WMD=3.04,95％CI:0.41-5.67;P=0.02).However,the anterior knee joint pain(WMD=0.96,95％CI:-0.85-2.76;P=0.30)and knee joint score(RR=0.81,95 ％ CI:0.50-1.32;P =0.41) had no statistical difference between the two operation modes.Conclusion Conducting patellar resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty can reduce the reoperation risk and improves the postoperative knee joint function,but does not improve postoperative knee joint pain score and knee joint score
