SMALL IMPLANTS:
JOINT REPLACEMENT OF THE KNEE CAP (PFJ)
The knee cap (patella) runs as an isolated bone in a groove of the femur and, as the femoropatellar joint, represents one of 3 compartments of the knee joint.
It is fixed with tendons and ligaments and allows the knee joint to be actively stretched.
Disturbances in mobility or instability as well as the shape of the kneecap (dysplasia) can lead to cartilage damage and osteoarthritis ISOLATED IN THE patellofemoral joint.
IF THE OTHER COMPARTMENTS ARE FREE OF ARTHROSIS, there is the possibility of an isolated partial joint replacement of the retro patellar joint.
