Health Matters provides a forum for
clinicians and the medical industry to educate consumers
about developments in healthcare. Our current focus is
The OxfordŽ
Partial Knee, currently the only FDA-approved,
free-floating meniscal partial knee system available in
the United States. For patients with knee arthritis
limited to the medial compartment, surgeons may elect to
perform OxfordŽ partial knee replacement. Some
advantages of the OxfordŽ partial knee replacement are
that it removes 75% less bone and cartilage, is less
painful, enables a more rapid recovery, and provides
more natural motion when compared to a total knee
replacement. Published long-term clinical results on the
OxfordŽ Knee demonstrated a 98% success rate at 10 years
and 95% at 15 years and beyond, equaling the results of
the most successful total knee replacements.
- More natural motion*
- Less pain*
- More rapid recovery*
- 75% less bone removed*

Individual results of total joint replacement may vary.
The life of any implant will depend on your weight, age,
activity level, and other factors.
Patient Testimonials
Dear Doctor Wolf:
On July 2. 2007 you did a partial knee replacement (the Oxford Knee) in my right knee medial compartment, and on September 24th you did the same for my left knee.
On December 24th I went downhill skiing very hard and very fast. I skied better than I have in twenty years!! And after five days of downhill and cross-country skiing: no knee pain, no trouble and no problems other than sore muscles that got an exceptional work out. Last year, after three days skiing I practically couldn't walk because of the pain.
That is quite a miracle for a 71-year-old deskbound lawyer who used to be and is again an excellent skier.
Now I have just come back form a week's ski trip to the French Alps. My fifteen-year-old skiing cousin and his excellent snowboarding buddy couldn't keep up with me. I figure I now have at least ten good years of skiing left in me.
Many, many thanks to you and your excellent assistants and cheerful, wonderful staff, for this and for all the good care you have given me over the years.
Yours gratefully,
Gerhard Stoll
