Patellofemoral Joint Arthroplasty: Early Results and Functional Outcome of the Zimmer Gender Solutions Patello-Femoral Joint System

Abstract

Our study showed good early results of the PFJ system, at least equal to those of other leading brands in the National Joint Registry for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (NJR). There have been no complications related to either the implantation technique or prosthetic design for this new implant. Progression of tibiofemoral arthritis remains a major concern. Our study also suggests that PFJR in obese patients and bilateral procedures can have good results.
