Introduction: Patellofemoral biomechanics are a very critical factor for patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty. Patellar defects in a primary total knee arthroplasty are rare. We present a rare case of valgus deformed knee with an eroded egg-shell like patella managed with primary knee arthroplasty. Case Report: A 58-year-old female with bilateral knee pain for 35-years presented to us with a bilateral valgus knee. The knee range of movement was restricted more on the left side and severely restricting her activities of daily living. She had an egg-shell like eroded patellar defect in an osteoarthritic knee for which, she underwent primary total knee arthroplasty and patellar resurfacing with autologous bone graft harvested from the tibial cut bone. Conclusion: We have presented a rare case of a combination of patellar defect in an Osteoarthritic knee which was managed by modified gap-balancing technique of TKA with a novel method of patellar resurfacing in a single stage with good functional results at 1-year postoperatively. This case improves our understanding of the management of such complex scenarios and, more importantly raises the questions our understanding and need of classification of such patellar defects in a primary arthritic knee. |
