Patellar rebar augmentation in revision total knee arthroplasty

Journal of Arthroplasty Sep 21, 2020

McPherson EJ, Sherif SM, Dipane MV, et al. - This study was attempted to examine the use of cortical “rebar” screws to augment cement fixation in revision patelloplasty. Researchers applied the dorsal patellar rebar technique for patellar reconstruction in 128 of 1,037 revision total knee arthroplasty cases (12.3%) between 2006 and 2018. The rebar technique was applied to conduct 128 patellar revisions. Patellar rebar screw augmentation was found to be a beneficial procedure when there are significant cavitary deficiencies and limited segmental rim deficiencies. This method permits the surgeon to extend indications for patellar revision arthroplasty.
