Patellofemoral Replacement

During this “partial” knee replacement, worn down bone and cartilage surfaces are removed and replaced with metal and polyethylene (plastic) implants. The trochlear groove is covered by a thin metallic shield and a dome-like plastic implant is used on the patella. Both components are held in place by bone cement.
