Clinical study reveals preserved patellar height after complete infrapatellar fat pad resection in knee replacement patients, suggesting the routine surgical procedure preserves joint mechanics.
Most orthopedic surgeons tend to remove the infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The present study was designed with the aim of determining whether complete removal of the IPFP during TKA affects the patella height.
