Summary:
This study examined whether resurfacing the kneecap during total knee replacement affects patients’ ability to kneel. Patients reported similar difficulty kneeling across groups. However, patients without preexisting kneecap arthritis who underwent resurfacing reported lower satisfaction with kneeling than those whose kneecaps were not resurfaced.
