Complications of patellofemoral joint surgery

Abstract:
The goal of patellofemoral surgery, as is true in any surgical procedure, is the maximum benefit with the least morbidity. It is imperative that the surgeon be aware of the potential complications of operating on the patellofemoral joint. It was with this goal in mind that this review was undertaken. Complications specific to surgical therapy for LPCS, malalignment, degenerative arthritis, and trauma were covered. Procedure-specific complications were discussed, as well as IPCS and reflex sympathetic dystrophy. Recommendations on how to avoid these complications were made. Specific treatment recommendations, where appropriate, were also put forth.
