Abstract
We present the peak outcome results of the Oxford medial unicompartmental arthroplasty through a minimally invasive ssurgical incision. This prospective study included 78 Oxford medial unicompartmental knee replacements in 68 patients. At the 2 year review the patients achieved a mean Oxford Knee Score of 38.3. This was not significantly different to the 2 year results of the phase 2 Oxford knee carried out using a standard parapatellar approach when patients achieved a mean OKS of 36.0. Four unicompartmental knee replacements required revision for unexplained pain, deep infection, aseptic loosening and bearing dislocation. Minimally invasive joint replacement is attractive to both patients and surgeons, but is technically demanding with complications inherent to limited access.Keywords
