Abstract

Total patellectomy is sometimes unavoidable but usually results in severely impaired function, pain, and instability in the affected knee. Any patellar prosthetic solutions rely on a certain amount of remaining bone and therefore are not applicable after total patellectomy. Traditionally, reconstruction of a neopatella by avascular or allogeneic bone grafts is hampered by mechanical failure, resorption, or infection. We developed a new, 3-stage approach to reconstruct a hybrid patella composed of a revascularized scapula tip transplant fabricated with a prosthetic socket. The procedure is safe and provides optimal healing and prosthetic osteointegration through viable bone and dynamic stability to the considerable load a patella has to bear in unrestricted mobility. The technique also demonstrates successful integration of orthopedic prosthetic devices into current flap fabrication concepts.
