Metal-backed patella (MBP) with highly porous titanium coating applied by 3D printing may provide improved fixation in TKA, especially in patients with limited bone stock.

Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Pain, KOOS Physical Function Shortform (PS), KOOS Joint Replacement (JR) and Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey Mental Component Score (VR-12 MCS) were obtained preoperatively and at 1-year.
