Patellofemoral Arthroplasty Designs and Osteoarthritis Progression

Patellofemoral Arthroplasty Designs and Osteoarthritis Progression Overview This study aimed to evaluate clinical and functional outcomes, complication rates, implant survivorship, and the progression of tibiofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) in patients with isolated patellofemoral OA undergoing new inlay or onlay patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA). The research also sought to compare different implant types and models

Perforator Flaps For Patellar Defects

Perforator Flaps For Patellar Defects Overview This study explores the use of pedicled fascio-cutaneous perforator flaps, specifically the descending genicular artery perforator (DGAP) flap, for reconstructing complex peripatellar defects. While free flaps and pedicled muscle flaps are more commonly employed for this purpose, the DGAP flap is presented as a viable and
