Total Knee Arthroplasty (Knee Replacement) Patients Surprisingly enough, people who have had a total knee replacement have a higher increased risk of developing Patella Baja. Studies have found that the prevalence of the condition occurs in anywhere from 25-34% of TKA patients.
If the patella is sitting too high (equivalent to the patellar tendon being too long) then this is called patella alta. If the patella is sitting too low (i.e. a short patellar tendon) then this is patella baja (sometimes referred to as patella infera).
TL is obtained by measuring the length of the inner border of the patellar tendon from the lower pole of the patella to the notch in the tibial cortex at the superior border of the tibial tubercle.
Failure to address patella baja can lead to decreased range of motion (ROM), a decreased lever arm, extensor lag, impingement of the patella against the tibial polyethylene or tibial plate, anterior knee pain, increased energy expenditure, and rupture of the patellar or quadriceps tendons.
