Abstract
Septic revisions required concomitant lateral releases more frequently (38.1% vs 10.9%; PÂ < .02) but had a similar rate of patellar complications (6.8% vs 3.3%; PÂ = .40). No cases required rerevision specifically for failure of the patellar component. Patients who had a patelloplasty had worse postoperative Knee Society functional scores than those with a retained or revised patellar component. In most aseptic RTKAs, a well-fixed patellar component can be retained. If revision is required, a standard polyethylene component is sufficient in most septic and aseptic revisions. Rerevisions related to the patellar component are infrequent.
