Summary: | Patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) has emerged as an alternative bone-preserving surgical option for treating isolated symptomatic patellofemoral osteoarthritis that better replicates the natural knee kinematics compared with total knee arthroplasty. Achieving successful outcomes in PFA relies on meticulous patient selection, proper surgical technique, and appropriate implant choice and placement. Recent advancements in inlay trochlea implants, allowing for customized and anatomic joint line reconstruction with less bone resection, have demonstrated significant improvements in functional outcome scores and pain relief. This Technical Note aims to provide insights into the surgical technique of PFA with inlay implants, highlighting key considerations and potential challenges. It also assists surgeons in making informed decisions regarding the choice between standard and dysplastic inlay implants, while suggesting concurrent procedures to optimize tracking and overall outcomes.
