Since redesign of the Oxford phase III mobile-bearing unicompartmental
knee arthroplasty (UKA) femoral component to a twin-peg design,
there has not been a direct comparison to total knee arthroplasty
(TKA). Thus, we explored differences between the two cohorts. A total of 168 patients (201 knees) underwent medial UKA with
the Oxford Partial Knee Twin-Peg. These patients were compared with
a randomly selected group of 177 patients (189 knees) with primary
Vanguard TKA. Patient demographics, Knee Society (KS) scores and
range of movement (ROM) were compared between the two cohorts. Additionally,
revision, re-operation and manipulation under anaesthesia rates
were analysed.Aims
