Recently, patellofemoral arthroplasty has attracted increased interest as a salvage treatment for isolated patellofemoral arthritis. However, there are very few reports of the experience with modern generation patellofemoral arthroplasties. This investigation describes a collective experience of four centres reporting on the outcome in patients of the use of one patellofemoral arthroplasty device. There were 70 patients (79 knees) who had failed an extensive non-operative treatment regimen and/or various conventional alternative surgical treatments. At a mean follow-up of three years (range: 2-6 years), there were 66 knees that had Knee Society Scores greater than 80 points (84%). Seventy-one knees (90%) functioned without pain in daily activity and stair climbing. Symptomatic isolated patellofemoral arthritis was successfully treated with a patellofemoral arthroplasty in the short term. We are encouraged by these excellent early results and await longer follow-up.
