Patellofemoral arthroplasty in a bilateral Syme's amputee
چکیده انگلیسی

We present the case of a 50-year-old woman, who is a bilateral Syme's amputee and subsequently underwent patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) for osteoarthritis primarily involving the patellofemoral (PF) joint. History and physical examination were suggestive of severe PF arthritis without patellar instability of the right knee. The diagnosis was confirmed by roentgenogram and a PFA was performed. A slightly modified rehabilitation program was implemented and the patient was followed until 6 years after surgery. In comparison to the preoperative scores, the Oxford, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC), the Knee Society, and the Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Scores improved significantly (p < 0.05) at the time of final follow-up. PF problems specific to below-knee amputees, factors to be considered before performing PFA, and the drawbacks of other treatment modalities in these patients have been discussed.
