Good clinical outcomes of patellofemoral arthroplasty for isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis: a case-matched cohort comparative study of PFA with TKA
Abstract:Background: Severe isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis is usually treated by total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the majority of the world but patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) has been a viable alternative for many years although there have been concerns about implant longevity.
