Patellofemoral Arthroplasty

  • Chapter

Summary

Isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis is present in approximately 10% of patients presenting with symptomatic degenerative knee joint disease. The current gold standard for treatment of end-stage disease after failure of conservative measures is total knee arthroplasty. The early results of isolated patellofemoral arthroplasty have been disappointing, but newer designs and an appreciation of the need to balance the soft tissues hold out the hope that a less invasive procedure may achieve results that match those of total knee arthroplasty. Concerns remain about progression of disease to the medial tibiofemoral compartment.
