Biomechanical behavior of cancellous bone on patellofemoral arthroplasty with Journey prosthesis : a finite element study

Isolated patellofemoral (PF) arthritis of the knee affects approximately 10% of the population in general. Patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) is a bone conserving solution for patients with isolated PF degeneration. Typical failure mechanisms of PFA include growing tibiofemoral arthritis or loosening...
