Patellar dislocation is a serious complication leading to patient morbidity following total knee arthroplasty. The cause can be multifactorial. Extensor mechanism imbalance may be present and result from technical errors such as malrotation of the implants. We performed a retrospective study assessing the outcomes of revision surgery for patellar dislocation in patients with component malrotation in both primary and revision total knee arthroplasty. Patient demographics, etiology of dislocation, presurgical deformity, intraoperation component position, complications, reoperation and knee society scores were collected.Background
