Core Tip	Patients who have undergone patellectomy tend to experience worse outcomes following total knee arthroplasty than those with an intact patella. We present a 73-year-old male who, after a left patellectomy due to a comminuted fracture, developed osteoarthritis leading to detriment knee function. We reconstructed the patella using bone chips from routine bone cuts during the total knee arthroplasty. Post-surgery, the patient reported improved knee function and satisfaction. The key takeaway is that patellar reconstruction enhances knee function mainly due to its mechanical advantages, leading to better outcomes. The technique performed is safe and feasible.
