IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca

IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.

AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.

Patellar eversion during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a debated issue. The aim of this study is to perform a review of overlapping meta-analyses analyzing clinical outcomes of patellar eversion compared to noneversion. A search was performed in PubMedMEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria were meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or quasi-RCTs;l comparison between TKAs with or without patellar eversion; and at least one outcome, such as reoperation rate, pain, and functional scores. Meta-analyses were evaluated with the A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Review (AMSTAR) score, addressing the most relevant one with the Jadad algorithm. Three meta-analyses were identified and included in this review. No significant differences were found regarding complications, quadriceps strength, functional, and radiological outcomes. The meta-analysis by Zan et al. was selected as the best available one. Patellar eversion group showed a shorter tourniquet time but a longer skin incision. In conclusion, eversion and noneversion techniques did not demonstrate any significant or clinically relevant difference.
