“…Good subjective results were only obtained in 20 per cent and good objective results in 54 per cent of the cases (groups A and B ) , and the results could thus be regarded as inferior to those presented in some previous reports: excellent or good results in 83 per cent (Khong & Pillay 1967), in 75 per cent (Duthie & Hutchinson 1958), in 67 per cent (West 1962), and in 69 per cent (Mishra 1972). On the other hand, Nummi (1971) stated that the result was good in 36 per cent and Bostrom (1972) found good results in only one out of five cases.…”

Summary Seventy-three knees which had undergone patellectomy for patello-femoral osteoarthritis are reviewed. A possible mechanism of involvement of the tibiofemoral joint is described. Patellectomy, when the disease is confined to the patello-femoral articulation, appears to be beneficial over a 5-year period. When arthritic changes are present in the tibio-femoral joint, patellectomy may be beneficial in about half the patients.

“…Uniformly good results have not been reported and the complications are significant [26,27]. The radical solution to the problem is excision of the patella [10,11,16,18,30]. However, this operation has disadvantages leading to decreased quadriceps power, weakness, persistent pain, and instability of the knee in some patients [1,14,15,21,28].…”
