The paper of Jamieson et al. on this subject concludes the following:
There is no plausible reason that TKA should affect the
patellar tendon reflex. Despite this, in clinical practice
TKA is often thought to be responsible for absent
patellar tendon reflexes. This study supports the
hypothesis that there is no effect of TKA on patellar
tendon reflexes.
