Expert consensus on surgical treatment of patellofemoral osteoarthritis

Patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is one of the most common causes of anterior knee pain in middle-aged and elderly population. In general, elementary therapy and drug therapy are the preferred choices for PFOA management. However, for those who cannot achieve satisfactory effectiveness with standard non-surgical treatment, surgical therapy stands as an alternative treatment. The surgical therapy includes repair surgery and reconstruction surgery. The choice of surgical plans for PFOA management mainly depends on the etiology, pathogenesis, location, and severity of the lesions. To aid clinical decision-making, the National Clinical Research Center for Geriatric Disorders (Xiangya Hospital) and the Joint Surgery Branch of the Chinese Orthopedic Association arranged nationwide orthopedic specialists to set up a work panel. After reviewing the research progress of surgical therapy and the latest guidelines and consensus for PFOA management, the work panel discussed repeatedly to reach this consensus. The present consensus aims to provide valid evidences for clinical practices of the surgical therapy of PFOA, so as to avoid inappropriate and irregular treatment behaviors, reduce surgical trauma, improve surgical efficacy and the quality of life, and to ease the burden of PFOA.
