Femoral osteotomy

Patellofemoral replacement is a type of partial knee replacement designed specifically to treat arthritis or damage isolated to the front part of the knee — the patellofemoral joint (where the kneecap meets the thigh bone). Unlike total knee replacement, this procedure preserves the healthy parts of your knee, leading to a more natural-feeling joint and typically a faster recovery.

Dr Shane Blackmore specialises in joint preservation and advanced knee procedures, offering patients cutting-edge options with a personalised approach. Patellofemoral replacement may be ideal for active individuals suffering from chronic kneecap pain that hasn’t responded to non-surgical treatments.
