Patients were randomly divided into an eversion group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 52) and a retraction group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 52) based on the intraoperative handling of the patella (eversion or lateral retraction). Primary outcome measures, including the visual analog scale at rest (rVAS) and the visual analog scale in motion (mVAS) for both anterior knee pain and thigh pain, opioid consumption, active range of motion (aROM), passive range of motion (pROM), the time needed for return of the straight\u2010leg raise (SLR), and 90\u00b0 knee flexion, were recorded by an independent observer, who also noted secondary outcome measures, including operation time, length of stay (LOS), patella\u2010related (patellar tilt and baja) and other complications, knee swelling, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores, and the 12\u2010item Short Form Health Survey (SF\u201012) scores.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of baseline parameters.
