Post-operative Patellar Tilt More than 10° Can Affect Certain Components of Knee Society Score After Total Knee Arthroplasty at 2-Year Follow-Up.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: The effect of post-operative patella tilt on functional outcomes after total knee arthroplasty remains unclear. Our study aimed to analyze the relationship of post-operative patellar tilt with functional outcome scores after total knee arthroplasty. Materials and Methods: Patient data were retrieved from our institution's prospectively maintained total knee arthroplasty. Three hundred three patients who underwent unilateral TKA from Jan 2012 to March 2017 were included in the study. After excluding patients with incomplete and lost follow-up data, 213 patients were analyzed. Radiographs of pre-operative and post-operative skyline views were used for patella tilt and patella displacement measurement at pre-op, post-op 1 year, and post-op 2 years. Three functional outcome scoring systems, SF-36, KSS, and WOMAC, were applied for function evaluation at different post-operative time points. Patients were divided into three subgroups according to the patella tilt, which includes less than 5°, 5.1-10°, and more than 10°. Statistical analysis was done to identify the relationship between patella tilt and functional outcomes. Results: Mean post-operative patella tilt was significantly lower than the mean pre-operative patella tilt (3.35 ± 3.91 vs. 5.65 ± 4.41, Conclusion: We have found significantly less post-operative patella tilt after TKA than pre-operative patella tilt with or without patella resurfacing. Increased post-operative patella tilt of more than 10° can affect specific functional outcomes. Patella resurfacing does not affect the post-operative functional outcome compared to non-resurfacing of the patella post-op 2 years. Level of Evidence: III.
