In an attempt to improve results, in recent years there has been a renewed interest in patellofemoral arthroplasties which incorporated design changes and enhancements, improved instrumentation for a more accurate surgical technique and an adjustment in the indications. The latest prosthetic design to be introduced has been a patellofemoral prosthesis with mobile polyethylene.</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We report a rare complication: dislocation of polyethylene in the patellar metal base.

Exploration of the left knee, more symptomatic than the right, revealed patellofemoral findings and a range of movement with 10° extension. Radiographic images showed gonarthrosis, mainly of the patellofemoral compartment (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>), and a magnetic resonance study revealed a bilateral patellofemoral arthrosic chondropathy.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In February 2005, the patient underwent a patellofemoral arthroplasty with a left Low Contact Stress (LCS) patellofemoral prosthesis (DePuy, Warsaw, IN, USA) (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>). She progressed satisfactorily, reporting clinical improvement and personal satisfaction. Two years later, plain radiographs showed no change compared to the initial images and the range of motion was −5°/130°. Three years after the surgery, radiographic images remained unchanged and the range of motion was 10°/130°.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">At 4 years after surgery, the patient consulted due to persistent knee pain without history of trauma and with an evolution of various months. Plain radiographs showed a separation of the polyethylene component from the patellar metal base. According to its markers, the polyethylene was located at the bottom of the external quadricipital recess (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>). We considered replacing the partial patellofemoral arthroplasty with a total knee arthroplasty. During surgery, we confirmed that the patellar polyethylene component was dislocated and free within the knee. In addition, discrete metallosis was also observed in the periprosthetic soft tissues, supposedly due to the dislocation and the duration of knee pain. Once removed, the implant showed metal–metal friction marks. Review surgery was performed using a complete LCS primary prosthesis with rotating platform (DePuy, Warsaw, IN, USA), without incident and with a good subsequent evolution. Three years after surgery, the patient remained asymptomatic, presented a good range of motion (−5°/100°) and manifested her satisfaction.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Discussion</span><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Different causes of patellofemoral arthropathy require different treatments, with the most common causes being malalignment, dysplasia, instability, trauma, inflammatory arthritis, obesity and osteoarthritis.

In other words, the problem would be a wrong position of the patellar insert, leading to a rotation of the polyethylene over 30° on the base. In order to avoid this, we must be careful when orienting the patella, as this orientation takes place with the patella in an everted position, and its transverse axis is not the same when everted as after being reduced. With an everted patella, the patellar guide should be placed with about 20° inferior deflection. Thus, when its transverse axis is reduced, it will be parallel to the transverse axis of the knee.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0045"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a> But even after adequately orienting the patellar metal base, patellofemoral malalignment or instability represent contraindications, as they may require a rotation of the polyethylene over 35°.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> A wrong patellar path could cause the corner of the polyethylene component to become caught in the margin or corner of the femoral trochlear component, leading to polyethylene dislocation.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a></p><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">One advantage introduced by the LCS design in patellofemoral arthroplasties is that, in case conversion into total knee arthroplasty becomes necessary, it is not necessary to replace the patella. Obviously, if a dislocation of the polyethylene from the patellar base takes place, total replacement will be required in order to correct the deficiencies leading to this complication.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the case described it seemed that a previous high patella (with an Insall–Salvati index of 1.29) was the reason that led to a high prosthetised patella with respect to the trochlear insert, eventually leading to the polyethylene becoming caught on the trochlear edge and dislocating upon flexion.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The use of patellofemoral arthroplasties remains controversial.
