Patellar Rebar Augmentation in Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty

摘要

Background: In revision total knee arthroplasty, osteolysis, mechanical abrasion, and infection may leave patellar bone stock severely attenuated with cavitary and/or segmental rim deficiencies that compromise fixation of patellar implant pegs. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively review the use of cortical "rebar" screws to augment cement fixation in revision patelloplasty.
