Background: Unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) is a common treatment option for patients with advanced medial compartment knee arthritis. The Oxford UKR (OUKR) is the most commonly used implant for partial knee replacement. A cementless Oxford prosthesis was introduced in 2004 aiming to reduce the revision rate by potentially reducing radiolucencies as well as errors of cementation associated with the cemented prosthesis. Whilst results from the designer centre have been reported, there is little independent clinical evidence of outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival of the cementless OUKR in a single surgeon series at an independent centre and to assess clinical and radiographic outcomes. Methods: All patients who received a cementless medial OUKR and had a minimum of five-year follow-up were included in the series. The Oxford knee score was used to evaluate patient outcomes at five years postoperatively. Survival rates, complications and evidence of radiolucencies on plain radiographs were also reviewed. Results: One hundred and fifty-eight cementless medial OUKR were implanted in 126 patients. Three patients died and four knees were revised. The five-year survival was 97.4% and the median Oxford knee score was 43 at five years postoperatively. No Complete radiolucent lines were observed on radiographs at one year. Four tibial components subsided. Conclusions: This independent series shows that low revision rates and excellent results can be achieved with the use of the cementless OUKR at five years. Early subsidence of the tibial component, which is specific to the cementless prosthesis, warrants further investigation.Citation
