Recently its topical application was expanded to total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA, TKA) and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Toxicity to cartilage is the subject of current research. The aim of this study was to prove the hypothesis that topical application of VP in TKA does not result in a degeneration of patella cartilage. We propagate that the conversion rate for secondary patella resurfacing is not influenced by its use.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Between 2014 and 2021, 4292 joints were included in this monocentric retrospective cohort study. All patients underwent TKA without primary patella resurfacing. After a change of the procedure in the hospital, one group (VPG) was administered VP intraoperatively. The other group (nVPG) received no VP during surgery (nVPG). The remaining perioperative procedure was constant over the investigation period. Conversion rates for secondary patella resurfacing for both groups were determined without making distinctions in the indication. A second cohort was composed of patients presenting for follow-up examination 12\u00a0months after TKA and included 210 joints. Retrospective radiographic evaluations were performed preoperatively, before discharge and at follow-up examination. Patella axial radiographs were analyzed for patella tracking (lateral patellar tilt, patellar displacement) and patella degeneration (Sperner classification, patellofemoral joint space).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>There was no significant difference in the conversion rate for secondary patella resurfacing (4.24% VPG, 4.97% nVPG).
