Abstract

We have compared the results of simple patellectomy (group A, n = 16) and patellectomy with advancement of the vastus medialis obliquus (group B, n = 12) in a prospective, randomised trial, with a minimum follow-up of three years.

The results in group B were significantly better (p < 0.001) than those in group A. Although the patella should be preserved if possible, we advocate advancement of the vastus medialis obliquus when patellectomy is necessary.

Correspondence should be sent to Dr I. Günal at Porsuk Bulvari, Marti Apt., No: 65/2, 26010 Eskisehir, Turkey.
