The AVON Patello-Femoral Joint Replacement can be a clinically effective alternative to TKR for patients with isolated patello-femoral arthritis. It is designed to reproduce the natural patello-femoral joint throughout the range of motion and to facilitate tracking of the patella in the femoral groove. The AVON has been reported as a comfortable and reliable implant.3 Lateral release, using AVON PFJ, is not needed. Minimal bone resection is required for easy conversion to TKR if necessary.

Key features include:

• AVON is the only PFJ replacement system with 2-5 years of published clinical results citing 90 percent survivorship in more than 100 or more knees.
• It provides reproducible congruity of the natural joint, accurate patella tracking for patient comfort, low patella complication,2 and bone sparing.
