    Main Methods:

    • Comprehensive literature review of patellectomy studies.
    • Comparative analysis of outcomes based on patient age groups.

    Main Results:

    • Divergent findings in current literature complicate outcome assessment.
    • Specific comparison of patellectomy results between younger and older individuals is presented.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is needed to resolve the controversy surrounding patellectomy.
    • Age-specific outcomes may influence the decision-making process for patellectomy.
