Controversy persists as to whether the patella should be resurfaced in total knee arthroplasty. Can the good results of patellar cartilage against the metal femoral component be expected to endure? Attention to technique can be expected to reduce some of the complications of resurfacing, notably fracture, rupture, and instability. Component breakage results from metal-backed designs, and the causes of patellar clunks have not been fully understood.
关于在全膝关节置换术中是否应对髌骨进行表面置换仍存在争议。能否期望髌软骨与金属股骨部件之间的良好效果持久？可以预期，注重技术能减少一些表面置换的并发症，尤其是骨折、破裂和不稳定。部件断裂源于金属背衬设计，而髌骨撞击声的原因尚未完全明了。
