title: [Femoropatellar complications of 87 total condylar and Insall Burstein knee joint prostheses].
abstract: In a group of 87 total knee joint prostheses with posterior stabilization, 18 femoro patellar complications happened. Fractures, loosening, dislocations and subluxations are relatively rare. The persistence of residual patellar pain was more frequent with a high proportion of femoro-patellar derangement syndrome (FPDS). This last complication was specific of posterior stabilization model (MK II) and its origin is related to the formation of a synovial pannus in front of intercondylar region. In one case, it was surgically removed. The existence of this "FPDS" is statistically correlated with lowering of the patella, posterior position of tibial tuberosity and excessive thickness of the patellar implant complex.
