This book traces the 30 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. 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. The book is accompanied
by a DVD with animations of mathematical models of the intact and
replaced knee, as well as full video footage of a knee replacement
operation.
