Key MethodWe randomised 62 knees to receive either cemented or cementless versions of the Oxford unicompartmental knee replacement. The implants used in both arms of the study were similar, except that the cementless components were coated with porous titanium and hydroxyapatite. The tibial interfaces were studied with fluoroscopically-aligned radiographs. At one year there was no difference in clinical outcome between the two groups. Narrow radiolucent lines were seen at the bone-implant interfaces in…

Results after Cementless Medial Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Replacement - Incidence of Radiolucent Lines
TLDR
After cemented unicompartmental knee replacement RL were limited to the tibia, partial and never progressive, and seem to have no influence on clinical outcome and revision.
Fixation of the Oxford unicompartmental knee replacement
TLDR
Radiolucent lines, both partial and complete, are common with cemented components, and are associated with good long-term results and direct bone cement contact indicating satisfactory fixation, however, they are also associated with increased migration and soft tissue at the interface suggesting that the fixation, although satisfactory, is suboptimal.
Cementless versus cemented Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: early results of a non-designer user group
TLDR
The presence of radiolucent lines after cemented Oxford UKA does not correlate with clinical outcome or survival, and they appear to be more common in the cemented group.

Cementless fixation in Oxford unicompartmental knee replacement: a multicentre study of 1000 knees.
TLDR
Cementless OUKR appears to be safe and reproducible in patients with end-stage anteromedial osteoarthritis of the knee, with radiological evidence of improved fixation compared with previous reports using cemented fixation.
Improved Fixation in Cementless Unicompartmental Knee Replacement
TLDR
The objectives of this study were to compare the quality of fixation as well as clinical outcomes of cemented and cementless unicompartmental knee replacements at five years of follow-up.
Midterm Results of Cementless and Cemented Unicondylar Knee Arthroplasty with Mobile Meniscal Bearing: A Prospective Cohort Study
TLDR
Shorter surgical time makes cementless implantation more attractive to surgeons when considering UKA options for their patients, and the BHT is a simple and useful test to assess whether patients are eligible for cementless UKA.
Improved fixation in cementless unicompartmental knee replacement: five-year results of a randomized controlled trial.
TLDR
Cementless fixation provides improved fixation at five years compared with cemented fixation in mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee replacements, maintaining equivalent or superior clinical outcomes with a shorter operative time and no increase in complications.

Extended sagittal saw cut significantly reduces fracture load in cementless unicompartmental knee arthroplasty compared to cemented tibia plateaus: an experimental cadaver study
TLDR
The results show that in case of an extended sagittal bone cut patients especially those with poor bone quality who are treated with a cementless unicompartmental knee arthroplasty are at higher risk for periprosthetic tibial fractures.

TLDR
Cementless UKA seems to be as efficacious as cemented UKA, however, there is some concern about the amount of radiolucency in the cementless tibial components.

Anteromedial osteoarthritis of the knee.
TLDR
The site of the lesion and the intact state of the cruciate ligaments taken together explain why varus deformity was observed only in the extended knee, and why the deformitywas correctable and had not become fixed.
The radiolucent line beneath the tibial components of the Oxford meniscal knee.
TLDR
Attention is drawn to the importance of the radiodense line: its presence may constitute positive evidence that healing at the level of bone section is complete and that equilibrium is established; its absence at a mature interface may indicate disequilibrium and impending failure.

Does arthritis progress in the retained compartments after 'Oxford' medial unicompartmental arthroplasty? A clinical and radiological study with a minimum ten-year follow-up.
TLDR
The retained articular cartilage continued to function for ten or more years which suggests that anteromedial osteoarthritis may be considered as a focal disorder of the knee and justifies continued efforts to develop methods of treatment which preserve intact joint structures.
The Oxford medial unicompartmental knee replacement using a minimally-invasive approach.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the minimally-invasive Oxford unicompartmental knee replacement is a reliable and effective procedure.
AN ACCEPTABLE LIMIT OF TIBIAL COMPONENT OVERHANG IN THE OXFORD UNICOMPARTMENTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY
TLDR
It is demonstrated that medial overhang of less than three millimetres for the tibial component is acceptable in the Oxford UKA, and an acceptable sizing limit is identified.
Pre-operative clinical and radiological assessment of the patellofemoral joint in unicompartmental knee replacement and its influence on outcome.
TLDR
Results show that neither anterior knee pain nor radiologically-demonstrated medial patellofemoral joint degeneration should be considered a contraindication to Oxford unicompartmental knee replacement.
The influence of the presence and severity of pre-existing patellofemoral degenerative changes on the outcome of the Oxford medial unicompartmental knee replacement.
TLDR
It is concluded that, provided there is not bone loss and grooving of the lateral facet, damage to the articular cartilage of the patellofemoral joint to the extent of full-thickness cartilage loss is not a contraindication to the Oxford mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee replacement.
