Popis: Derangement of the anterior compartment of the knee can cause patellofemoral dysfunction in up to 50% of secondary surgeries after total knee arthroplasty. A technique of patellar chamfering is described that can minimize the risk of anterior knee pain from lateral patellar impingement without compromising bone stock for future operations.
