| Abstract: | Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is an attractive concept, but some reports on its use are unfavorable. A meniscal bearing prosthesis has many advantages in this mode of arthroplasty. The authors present preliminary results of 25 unicompartmental knee replacements done with the Oxford Meniscal knee, with a follow-up period of 12-54 months (mean, 21 months). They discuss the scientific basis of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, which they conclude may be the most appropriate treatment for selected cases of degenerative arthritis of the knee. |
