Abstract
The mechanical function of the patellofemoral joint is an integral part of knee biomechanics, and remains a primary source of important clinical entities. Force transmission is the most central issue and can be described by relevant anatomical and biomechanical principles. The brief review highlights these issues focusing on recent applications to total knee arthroplasty.
