A review of the First Edition said "This excellent presentation
gives a detailed history of the development and scientific
principles behind the Oxford mobile bearing unicompartmental knee
replacement. The elegant prose makes it very readable and the book
presents a comprehensive review of the implant with good
illustrations. With nearly a million knee arthroplasties being
performed worldwide per annum and the possibility of up to a third
of these cases being eligible for unicompartmental replacement,
this is an important document. The work provides an excellent
bibliography and the accompanying DVD is essential viewing for all
knee surgeons involved in unicompartmental prosthetic
arthroplasty." Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Vol 89-B (2),
2007, p. 283. The Second Edition of the book traces the 40 year
development by surgeons and engineers in Oxford of a unique method
of unicompartmental knee replacement with the 'Oxford Knee'
prosthesis. The challenge to the surgeon is to replace the damaged
surfaces of the arthritic joint so effectively that the soft
tissues of the whole joint and the surfaces of the other
compartments can resume all their physiological functions, a more
difficult task than total knee replacements confront. As a user's
guide, the book allows the surgeon to gain a good understanding of
the biomechanics of the normal knee, of the pathological anatomy of
unicompartmental arthritis, and the rationale of the design of
instruments and implants. The outcome of the operation depends
greatly on choice of the right patient and exact implantation of
the prosthesis, subjects that are dealt with exhaustively. The
reader can use this book as an adjunct to the implant specific
instructional courses available. Additionally this Second Edition
describes additional clinical evidence published up to mid-2016,
and gives a more detailed description of the biomechanics of the
natural and replaced knee together with the use of the new
Microplasty instruments and the Domed Lateral operation. The book
also provides long-term data on wear and revision rates for the
Oxford Knee and covers common questions asked and the problems
confronted by users. Animations of mathematical models of the
intact and replaced knee, as well as full video footage of knee
replacement operations and other accompanying information, can be
found at www.oxfordpartialknee.com.
