We present a prospective review of the two-year functional outcome of 37 Avon patellofemoral joint replacements carried out in 29 patients with a mean age of 66 years ( 30 to 82) between October 2002 and March 2007. No patients were lost to follow-up. This is the first independent assessment of this prosthesis using both subjective and objective analysis of outcome. At two years the median Oxford knee score was 39 (interquartile range 32 to 44), the median American Knee Society objective score was 95 (interquartile range 90 to 100), the median American Knee Society functional score was 85 (interquartile range 60 to 100), and the median Melbourne Knee score was 28 (interquartile range 21 to 30). Two patients underwent further surgery. Only one patient reported an unsatisfactory outcome. We conclude that the promising early results observed by the designing centre are reproducible and provide further support for the role of patellofemoral joint replacement.
