ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Cementless unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) was introduced to secure long-term fixation and reduce the risk of revision. Experience with cementless UKA fixation is limited.METHODS:
The short-term survival (up to five years) of cementless Oxford UKA was assessed using data from the Finish Arthroplasty Register and was compared with that of cemented Oxford 3 UKA and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Datawere obtained, from the Finnish Arthroplasty Register, on 1076 cementless Oxford UKAs and 2279 cemented Oxford 3 UKAs performed for primary osteoarthritis in 2005-2015. The Kaplan-Meier method, with revision for any reason as the endpoint, was used to assess the survival of these two UKA groups, and the results were compared with that of 65,563 cemented TKAs treated for primary osteoarthritis over the same period. The risk of revision of both Oxford prostheses was compared using Cox regression model, with adjustment for age and sex, with the cemented TKA group as reference.RESULTS:
The three-year survival was 93.7% for the cementless Oxford, 92.2% for the cemented Oxford 3, and 97.3% for the cemented TKA. The corresponding figures at five years were 92.3%, 88.9%, and 96.6%, respectively. The revision rate for both the cementless Oxford and the cemented Oxford 3 was significantly increased when compared with the cemented TKA (Pâ¯<â¯0.001).CONCLUSIONS:
The survival of the cementless Oxford method was higher than that of the cemented Oxford 3 in the short term. The overall survival of Oxford UKA was poor in comparison with contemporary TKAs.Key words
