Changes to patellar blood flow after minimally invasive total knee arthroplasty
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 06/22/09

Hasegawa M et al. - Standard surgical exposure reduces blood flow to the patella during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Reduction of patellar blood flow has resulted in patellofemoral complications including osteonecrosis and patellar fracture, necessitating revision surgery. A significant reduction in flow was noted when the leg was flexed from full extension to 90°. Eversion of the patella reduced patellar blood flow. MIS TKA without patellar eversion may be useful for preventing a reduction in patellar blood flow.
