Patellofemoral Joint Replacement

What Is a Patellofemoral Joint Replacement?

This procedure involves replacing only the damaged joint surface between the kneecap (patella) and the femur (thigh bone), rather than the entire knee. It is an excellent option for patients with:

  • Isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis
  • Wear and tear from previous kneecap dislocation or trauma
  • Failed conservative treatments such as physiotherapy or injections

The Avon Knee is one of the most trusted implants for this type of surgery, offering proven outcomes and a more natural-feeling joint.
