Function after patellectomy.
Twenty cases of patellectomy for fracture and 14 cases of patellectomy for chondromalacia evaluated for postoperative strength, endurance, pain and functional complaints, revealed satisfactory results in 85% of the fracture group and 79% of the chondromalacia group. Some quadriceps weakness was usually present, but quadriceps strengthening overcame the loss of mechanical efficiency caused by patellectomy. A vigorous rehabilitation program should be followed for at least one year after surgery to secure the fullest recovery of function.
