Résumé :	Aim of this study is to determine the clinical effect of circumpatellar electrocautery on cases undergoing non-resurfaced total knee arthroplasty. Patients and methods : 184 patients undergoing nonresurfaced total knee arthroplasty were included and randomized into two, patient and outcome assessorblinded, parallel groups : 92 patient in denervation group & 92 patients in no-denervation group. Preoperative and final most recent follow up’s Western Ontario McMaster score and anterior knee pain rating were used for statistical analysis. Results : There was no statistically significant difference between both groups preoperatively in anterior knee pain, WOMAC score, or range of motion. While on all the three parameters there was a statistically significant difference in improvement in favor of denervation group. Discussion : Our study demonstrated that post-operative functional score and anterior knee pain score were significantly better in electrocauterised group. This shows that patellar denervation significantly improve clinical outcome and decreased anterior knee pain in NR-TKA.
