Tóm tắt

We present the case of a 35-year-old patient who underwent inlay patellofemoral arthroplasty (I-PFA) followed by secondary patellar realignment surgery and inlay-to-inlay revision. Revision was performed because of ongoing pain, crepitation, and lateral subluxation of the patella. The original patella component (30-mm button) was replaced with a 35-mm dome, while the Hemi-Cap Wave® (7 × 5 mm) I-PFA was replaced with the Hemi-Cap Kahuna® (10 × 5 mm). At the 1-year follow-up, the clinical symptoms were resolved. Radiography revealed an aligned patellofemoral compartment with no signs of loosening. Inlay-to-inlay PFA revision appears to be a reasonable alternative to total knee arthroplasty and conversion to onlay-PFA (O-PFA) for symptomatic patients with primary I-PFA failure. Thorough patellofemoral evaluation and appropriate patient and implant selection are key for successful I-PFA, while additional procedures for patellar realignment may also be required for satisfactory long-term outcomes.
