Oxford Knee Or Partial Knee Replacement

I had an Oxford knee replacement (partial knee replacement) which did not work. I’ve been told I need a full knee replacement. Has anybody information on this type of revision?

I just wanted to say that I finally have the date for my right partial knee replacement surgery. I will be getting rid of my other junk knee on July. I have heard a partial knee replacement begin referred to as an Oxford knee, but I am not positive about this. My job now is to hang in there, do what I need to between now, and then to get on with my life. I read some posts here and one worries me. One guy had a partial knee replacement and after 9 months post op and wasn’t still satisfied. I hope I’ll be!

At present I am in no way a fan of the oxford knee, I had mine done last Dec a week before xmas and so whole holiday season was done. Since I had the operation I have experienced all kinds of problems with pain and have even wore pain patches to stay the pain. I am still taking pain killers and yesterday I seen the surgeon who made all sorts of promises about how great it would be and his comment yesterday was "you get what you got" and he said he didn't figure even a full knee joint would make things any better. Never again for me that is for sure. My scan three weeks ago showed problems but he said he did feel that the test wasn't read right so what would you do? Who would you believe?

The most wonderful implant ever, in 10 months of the surgery I have completed 3 marathons including Boston, and 100 mile trail run..

21 days after surgery did my first 5K, and 90 days my first marathon.

I am 51 in just a few days...attitude to take your life back is key.

I had the Oxford knee placed a year ago. At first all seemed to be on track. But after about 4 months things went downhill quickly. Increased swelling with periods of minimal swelling followed by a sudden onset of swelling to the point where I needed to use a crutch because of limited mobility from the swelling. I've seen 3 guys including the one who placed it. None of them have an answer. They are all dumbfounded and cannot pinpoint the cause of the swelling. The pain is minimal. I cannot even think of playing tennis, running, as was promised within four months of surgery. They've done an MRI, a dozen X-rays, and bone scan looking for infection as well as blood work....nothing. Has anyone out there had any symptoms even remotely similar to what I describe. I'm 48, active and not ready to call it quits yet.

The person who stated he ran a 5k 21 days after surgery I find very hard to believe. I'm in excellent condition and that was not even close to being an option. I wonder if it may be a planted post.
