This study aimed to report the results of a novel surgical technique for the reconstruction of a deficient patella during revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Twenty-eight patients (30 knees) with a deficient patella were treated with an onlay-type prosthesis and bone-augmenting procedure, using acrylic bone cement and transcortical wiring. The technique was indicated when the thickness of remnant patella was less than 8Â mm with variable amounts of the peripheral rim. Mean follow-up period was 36.6Â months (range, 24 to 55Â months).The respective mean Knee Society scores for knee and function improved from 34.2 and 23 points, preoperatively to 73.5 and 61 points, at final follow-up. One patient experienced patellar fracture 1Â week after surgery. There were no complications associated with implanted hardware.
