Health Matters provides a forum for
clinicians and the medical industry to educate consumers
about developments in healthcare. Our current focus is
The OxfordŽ
Partial Knee, currently the only FDA-approved,
free-floating meniscal partial knee system available in
the United States. For patients with knee arthritis
limited to the medial compartment, surgeons may elect to
perform OxfordŽ partial knee replacement. Some
advantages of the OxfordŽ partial knee replacement are
that it removes 75% less bone and cartilage, is less
painful, enables a more rapid recovery, and provides
more natural motion when compared to a total knee
replacement. Published long-term clinical results on the
OxfordŽ Knee demonstrated a 98% success rate at 10 years
and 95% at 15 years and beyond, equaling the results of
the most successful total knee replacements.
- More natural motion*
- Less pain*
- More rapid recovery*
- 75% less bone removed*
If you have
questions regarding the OxfordŽ Partial Knee, please
speak with an orthopedic surgeon or click
here for patient risk information. Only an orthopedic
surgeon can determine what treatment is appropriate.
Individual results of total joint replacement may vary.
The life of any implant will depend on your weight, age,
activity level, and other factors.
