A member asked:
How successful is a patellofemoral replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Let me see: This procedure is not done very often because most people have done with total knee replacement, but if some body have significant changes in the patella-femoral joint with no changes in the rest of the joint it is very helpful. Good luck.
