Out of 251 total knee artroplasties performed at our institution between 1986 and 1997, 9 were followed by revision.
The reasons for revision were all patellar component failure of Miller-Galante Total Knee Arthroplasty (MG I TKA).
Total knee artroplasty with patellar component failure always has some femoral component wear making it necessary to revise not only the patella component but also the femoral component. Although it was very diffcult to remove the patellar plate from the bone due to strong bone ingrowth, the airtome and metal cutter were very useful for removing the patellar plate.
