In vivo sagittal plane kinematics of the FPV patellofemoral replacement.

Journal article

PURPOSE: Isolated symptomatic patellofemoral osteoarthritis has been reported in 2% of men and 8% of women older than the age of 55 years in the community. With the development of improved designs and surgical techniques, interest in the use of patellofemoral replacement has increased. The primary aim of the newer generation of patellofemoral replacement implant designs has been to more closely reproduce normal knee kinematics. This study compares the functional sagittal plane in vivo kinema...
