Patellar Resurfacing in Total Knee Replacement

Patellar resurfacing is a critical decision during total knee replacement surgery where the damaged cartilage on the back of your kneecap is removed and replaced with a plastic component, or left in its natural state. This comprehensive guide explains how orthopedic surgeons decide whether to resurface the patella based on factors including cartilage damage severity, bone thickness, arthritis type, and patient-specific considerations. Patients in Franklin, Brentwood, and the greater Nashville area seeking knee replacement surgery will learn about the benefits and risks of both patellar resurfacing and non-resurfacing approaches, surgical techniques used, recovery expectations, and how modern knee implants have made both options viable for achieving pain relief and improved function. Whether you're experiencing anterior knee pain from patellofemoral arthritis or considering total knee arthroplasty, understanding patellar management options helps you have informed discussions with your orthopedic surgeon about the best approach for your individual needs and anatomy.
