SMALL IMPLANTS:
PATENT KNEECAP JOINT REPLACEMENT (PFJ)
The kneecap (patella) runs as an isolated bone in a groove of the thigh bone and, as the femoropatellar joint, represents one of three compartments of the knee joint.
It is fixed with tendons and ligaments and enables active extension of the knee joint.
Disturbances in mobility or instability as well as the shape of the kneecap (dysplasia) can lead to cartilage damage and arthrosis ISOLATED IN THE patellofemoral joint. IF THE OTHER COMPARTMENTS ARE FREE OF ARTHRITIS, an isolated partial joint replacement of the kneecap-posterior surface joint is possible.
