The Oxford mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee
replacement (UKR) is an effective and safe treatment for osteoarthritis
of the medial compartment. The results in the lateral compartment
have been disappointing due to a high early rate of dislocation
of the bearing. A series using a newly designed domed tibial component
is reported. The first 50 consecutive domed lateral Oxford UKRs in 50 patients
with a mean follow-up of three years (2.0 to 4.3) were included.
Clinical scores were obtained prospectively and Kaplan-Meier survival
analysis was performed for different endpoints. Radiological variables
related to the position and alignment of the components were measured. One patient died and none was lost to follow-up. The cumulative
incidence of dislocation was 6.2% (95% confidence interval (CI)
2.0 to 17.9) at three years. Survival using revision for any reason
and aseptic revision was 94% (95% CI 82 to 98) and 96% (95% CI 85
to 99) at three years, respectively. Outcome scores, visual analogue

The purpose of this study was to compare clinical
outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after manipulation under
anaesthesia (MUA) for post-operative stiffness with a matched cohort
of TKA patients who did not requre MUA. . In total 72 patients (mean age 59.8 years, 42 to 83) who underwent
MUA following TKA were identified from our prospective database
and compared with a matched cohort of patients who had undergone
TKA without subsequent MUA. Patients were evaluated for range of
