A patellofemoral joint prosthesis is a sterile implant used to replace the articulating surfaces of the kneecap and the thigh bone. These devices are clinically indicated for patients suffering from isolated patellofemoral joint disease, such as osteoarthritis.
These implants are constructed from metal and are designed to be secured to the bone using surgical cement. They do not feature specialized coatings intended to encourage bone ingrowth and may include integrated pegs to assist with proper placement during the procedure.
