The pooled analysis demonstrated a standardized mean difference (SMD) of 0.25 (95% CI: −0.33 to 0.83) ( Figure 5 b), indicating a small to moderate increase in patella height postoperatively that did not reach statistical significance (z = 1.913, p = 0.056).

Furthermore, a subgroup analysis identified a strong, near-significant trend ( p = 0.057) indicating that single-stage procedures are associated with higher RTS rates of 81% (95% CI: 0.70 to 0.89) compared to 67% (95% CI: 0.57 to 0.76) for two-stage procedures, pointing to a clinically important effect ( Figure 6 ). 3.2.7.
