Oxford lateral uni-compartmental knee replacement: up-to 10 years follow-up from an independent series

Abstract

Background: Isolated lateral compartment arthritis of the knee is reported to occur in 10% of patients with knee osteoarthritis. Lateral uni-compartment knee replacement (UKR) is a valid treatment option. It can provide excellent function and patient reported outcomes (PROMS). Fixed-bearing (FB) and mobile-bearing (MB) designs are available. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes and survival of prostheses used in a consecutive series of lateral UKRs
