Background: Anterior knee pain due to patellar maltracking following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reduces patients’ satisfaction. This study aimed to determine the patellofemoral pressure (PFP) in patients with favorable patellar tracking (FT) and impaired patellar tracking (IT) following TKA, the factors causing patellar maltracking, and the effect of lateral retinacular release (LRR) on patients with IT. Methods: Forty-four patients with varus knee osteoarthritis undergoing cruciate-retaining TKA were enrolled. After component implantation, patients with a separation of ≥ 2 mm of the patellar medial facet from the medial femoral trochlea throughout knee range of motion were classified into IT group, meanwhile the others were classified into FT group. PFP was measured intraoperatively in three phases: 1) with the resurfaced patella (RP); 2) with the resurfaced patella and knee (RPK); and 3) when LRR was performed in IT (post-LRR). The PFPs at 0°, 90°, 120° and 135° knee flexion were compared between FT and IT using the Mann-Whitney U test. Pairwise comparison of the PFP in IT between RPK and post-LRR was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Correlations between PFP and pre- and post-operative radiographic parameters, such as hip-knee-ankle angle, lateral distal femoral angle, medial proximal tibial angle, anterior femoral offset, Insall-Salvati ratio (ISR), patellar tilt and patellar resection angle (PRA), were evaluated using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients. Results: High lateral PFP in the knee flexion position led to patellar maltracking. Patients with IT (n = 24) had higher lateral and lower medial PFP than did patients with FT (n = 20) at 90°, 120°, and 135° knee flexion in RP and RPK. LRR in IT reduced the lateral PFP in the knee flexion position. PRA and ISR were correlated with the lateral PFP at no less than 90° in RP and RPK. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that internal rotational patellar resection, which resulted in a thick medial patellar remnant and a thin lateral counterpart, and patella alta were the causative factors of high lateral PFP, which induced patellar maltracking after TKA. Surgeons should avoid internal rotational patellar resection to achieve FT and perform LRR in patients with patellar maltracking.
