Abstract
Patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) represents an excellent option for the patient with isolated patellofemoral degenerative arthritis. Results upward of 90% survival at up to 10 years have been reported [1–4]. However, in order to avoid complications, careful selection of patients and meticulous surgical technique are of paramount importance. Patient selection is important, particularly due to the well-documented failure of patellofemoral arthroplasty secondary to the progression of tibiofemoral degenerative arthritis. Surgical technique includes optimal choice of implant, as well as the implant’s size, position, and fixation.
