a

Only insert and/or patella exchange (excluding patella addition).

b

Revision of at least femur or tibia.

c

Any type of revision, including patella addition (CR n = 402; PS n = 555). A patellar component was placed during the primary proce-dure of 17.7% (n = 10,668) of cruciate retaining TKAs and of 28.5% (n = 20.831) of posterior stabilized TKAs.

d

p = 0.03

e

p = 0.01

f

p = 0.001

g

p < 0.001

h

Categories differ significantly for PS compared with CR TKAs after applying a Bonferroni correction (p = 0.05/39 = 0.001).
