Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), also known as total knee replacement, is a surgical procedure performed to treat severe knee joint damage and relieve pain in individuals with conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other degenerative joint diseases. The present study compared patellar resurfacing and non-resurfacing in patients undergoing bilateral TKA. Materials & Methods: 70 patients undergoing TKA of both genderswere split into two groups of 35. Individuals in group I received patella resurfacing, while individuals in group II did not. A single orthopaedic surgeon performed all surgeries. Knee Society Score (KSS), Modified Samsung Medical Centre Score (MSMCS), and Feller patellar score were all recorded in both groups. Results: Group I had 17 males and 18 females and group II had 20 males and 15 females.MSMCS pain was 1.49 in group I and 1.61 in group II, KSS pain was 2.08 in group I and 2.81 in group II, KSS function was 3.12 in group I and 4.27 in group II, MSMCS function was 3.24 in group I and 3.6 1 group II, Feller patellar score was 2.85 in group I and 3.21 in group II, congruence angle was 2.32 in group I and 2.51 in group II and patellar tilt angle was 2.04 degree in group I and 2.17 degree in group II. The difference was non- significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion: Both groups' clinical and radiological parameters were equivalent. Thus, in patients receiving bilateral total knee arthroplasty, both patellar resurfacing and non-resurfacing can be performed.
