چکیده

Opinions differ on the effects of excision of the patella. Good results were reported by Blodgett and Fairchild (1936), by Dobbie and Ryerson (1942) and by Horowitz and Lambert (1946). Indeed Brooke (1937) stated that the function of the knee was better than the normal after removal of the patella, and that the patella was not morphologically an integral part of the quadriceps tendon. These opinions are in conflict with those of Haxton (1945) and Jensenius (1951) who showed that extension of the knee was impaired by removing the patella. Bruce and Walmsley (1942) demonstrated early and severe arthritic changes in the femoral condyles of rabbits when the patella had been removed. Cohn (1944) showed that these changes were reduced when part of the patella was retained, and recommended partial excision whenever possible. Thomson (1942) recorded good results from this procedure in a follow-up by questionnaire.
