The development and manufacture of the patellar component was associated with a more detailed osteometric investigation of the patella and evaluation of its range of sizes in our population. Evaluation of data 1042 probands (477 women, 565 men) proved: a) there are no significant lateral differences of transversal dimensions of the patella and femoral condyles; b) The mutual relationship of the above mentioned dimensions does not correlate, and thus no conclusions can be drawn from the transversal breadth of the condyles on the dimensions of the patella; c) The range of patellar diameters in the population is very wide, and to meet demands, it will be necessary to manufacture patellar components in cca five sizes.
