• Abstract The purpose of this study was to correlate the long-term survival of patellofemoral arthroplasty with primary diagnosis, age, sex, and body mass index. One hundred eighty-five consecutive Richards type II patellofemoral arthroplasties were performed in 161 patients with isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis. Diagnoses included primary patellofemoral osteoarthritis, posttraumatic patellofemoral osteoarthritis, and patellofemoral osteoarthritis with a previous realignment procedure for patellar subluxation or trochlear dysplasia. Median time to follow-up was 13.3 (range, 2.0-30.6) years. Patellofemoral arthroplasty survival was 84% at 10 years and 69% at 20 years. Primary diagnosis, sex, or age at patellofemoral arthroplasty did not significantly affect the rate of revision ( P = .35, P = .24, and P = .65, respectively). The rate of revision in obese patients (body mass index >30 kg/m2 ) was higher than that in nonobese patients ( P = .02).
