Patients with follow\u2010up less than 12 months were excluded. Outcomes included fracture and revision rates, osteolysis, pre\u2010 and postoperative patellar thickness, and residual bone thickness. Paired t\u2010tests with mean difference (MD) were used to compare patellar measurements. Interclass correlation coefficient for residual bone thickness was 0.92 (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.009).

No patellar revisions were performed. Two fractures occurred (0.6%), both managed conservatively, and no aseptic loosening or implant migration was observed. Radiographic osteolysis was identified in 11 patients (3.4%), with 19 osteolytic patterns distributed across four anatomical regions, most commonly the lateral quadrant. Full patellar thickness showed a small postoperative reduction (MD\u2009\u22120.77\u2009mm,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
