Abstract

With improvements to implant design, a better understanding of patellofemoral biomechanics, and a sound understanding of the correct surgical indications, patellofemoral joint replacement (PFR) has become an attractive surgical option for patients with isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA). However, PFR is a specialist procedure, with a number of essential pre- and intraoperative considerations that surgeons preforming the procedure must be cognisant of. The aim of this paper is to discuss a number of salient points that our institutions have found to be of great importance following over 30 years of experience in assessing and managing patients with PFOA and subsequent PFR.

Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
