Robotic assistance may improve these aspects, but available literature remains limited. This study evaluated early survivorship, complications, and reoperations after image-based robotic-assisted PFA (RA-PFA). Secondary aims were to assess clinical outcomes, return to sport, radiographic patellofemoral parameters, and agreement between planned and final implanted component position.\n                    <jats:italic>Method:<\/jats:italic>\n                    This retrospective single-center study included consecutive patients treated with RA-PFA for isolated PFOA between November 2021 and October 2024, with a minimum clinical and radiographic follow-up of 12\u00a0months. Primary outcomes were implant survivorship, reoperation-free survivorship, and postoperative complications. Secondary outcomes included Knee Society Score (KSS), range of motion (ROM), return to sport, radiographic patellofemoral parameters, and MAKO-derived plan-to-execution agreement. Kaplan\u2013Meier analysis was used to assess survival.\n                    <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Thirty patients (35 knees; 5 bilateral cases) were included, with a mean age of 61.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a012.2\u00a0years and mean body mass index of 25.3\u00a0\u00b1\u00a05.2\u00a0kg\/m\n                    <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                    . Most knees had advanced disease (Iwano grade III\u2013IV, 91.4%). Mean follow-up was 15.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a08.5\u00a0months. Overall reoperation rate was 8.6% (3\/35), including two conversions to TKA. Survivorship free from revision was 96.7% (95% CI 90.2\u2013100.0) at 12\u00a0months and 91.6% (95% CI 80.1\u2013100.0) at 24 and 36\u00a0months. KSS improved significantly (from 110.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a021.1 to 163.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a022.3;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001). Median ROM remained 130\u00b0. Return to sport was achieved in 78.3% of active patients. Patellar lateralization improved significantly (4.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a03.8\u00a0mm to 0.8\u00a0\u00b1\u00a01.8\u00a0mm;\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001), with a reduction in patellar tilt. Plan-to-execution deviations were minimal, with 100% component size concordance.\n                    <jats:italic>Discussion:<\/jats:italic>\n                    Image-based RA-PFA was associated with encouraging early survivorship, substantial functional gains, preserved knee motion, and improved radiographic patellofemoral alignment at short-term follow-up. However, the specific contribution of robotic assistance cannot be determined in the absence of a conventional control group.\n                    <jats:italic>Level of evidence<\/jats:italic>\n                    : Level IV.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1051\/sicotj\/2026070","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,13]],"date-time":"2026-10-13T07:56:06Z","timestamp":1791878166000},"page":"66","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Image-based robotic-assisted patellofemoral arthroplasty for isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis: Short-term survivorship, clinical and radiographic outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1051","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Alberto","family":"Fogacci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics Surgery and Sports Medicine Department, FIFA Medical Center of Excellence, Croix-Rousse Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon North University Hospital","place":["France"]},{"name":"IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, II Orthopaedic Clinic","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-1487-5066","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cl\u00e9ment","family":"Favroul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics Surgery and Sports Medicine Department, FIFA Medical Center of Excellence, Croix-Rousse Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon North University Hospital","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Andriollo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics Surgery and Sports Medicine Department, FIFA Medical Center of Excellence, Croix-Rousse Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon North University Hospital","place":["France"]},{"name":"Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Fondazione Poliambulanza Istituto Ospedaliero","place":["Italy"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre","family":"Longlune","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics Surgery and Sports Medicine Department, FIFA Medical Center of Excellence, Croix-Rousse Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon North University Hospital","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C\u00e9cile","family":"Batailler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics Surgery and Sports Medicine Department, FIFA Medical Center of Excellence, Croix-Rousse Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon North University Hospital","place":["France"]},{"name":"Univ Lyon, Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elvire","family":"Servien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics Surgery and Sports Medicine Department, FIFA Medical Center of Excellence, Croix-Rousse Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon North University Hospital","place":["France"]},{"name":"LIBM-EA 7424, Interuniversity Laboratory of Biology of Mobility, Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S\u00e9bastien","family":"Lustig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Orthopaedics Surgery and Sports Medicine Department, FIFA Medical Center of Excellence, Croix-Rousse Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon North University Hospital","place":["France"]},{"name":"Univ Lyon, Claude Bernard Lyon 1 University","place":["France"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"250","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,12]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1697","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joca.2016.05.011","volume":"24","author":"Kobayashi","year":"2016","journal-title":"Osteoarthr Cartil"},{"issue":"4","key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"445","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joca.2020.10.011","volume":"29","author":"Stoddart","year":"2021","journal-title":"Osteoarthr Cartil"},{"key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S47","DOI":"10.1016\/S0968-0160(14)50010-5","volume":"21","author":"Borus","year":"2014","journal-title":"Knee"},{"key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1051\/sicotj\/2025029","volume":"11","author":"Andriollo","year":"2025","journal-title":"SICOT-J"},{"issue":"4","key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"625","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm13040625","volume":"13","author":"Batailler","year":"2023","journal-title":"JPM"},{"issue":"4","key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"822","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jisako.2024.01.003","volume":"9","author":"Batailler","year":"2024","journal-title":"J ISAKOS"},{"issue":"6","key":"R7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1514","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465241237460","volume":"52","author":"Noyes","year":"2024","journal-title":"Am J Sports Med"},{"key":"R8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Clement ND, Patton JT, Ohly NE, et al.
