Radiographic features predictive of patellar maltracking during total knee arthroplasty
Chia SL et al. - Pre-operative patellar shift may thus be clinically relevant for identifying osteoarthritic patients who have a higher likelihood for patellar maltracking during TKA. Variations in the intrinsic risk for maltracking within patient study populations may account for the widely differing reported rates of patellar maltracking, and our data suggest that information on pre-operative patellar shift may be helpful in stratifying these sample populations.
