prospective study of pts. That underwent a cruciate retaining TKR for OA with and with out patellar replacement: no difference in the two groups in terms of ROM, Knee Society Score, anterior knee pain or overall revision; however rate of patellar revision was higher in the unresurfaced group (12% vs. 3%)
