We present our medium-term results with the Oxford unicompartmental knee prosthesis for unicompartmental osteoarthrosis. After an average of 58 months the mean on the Hospital for Special Surgery knee score in 38 medial and 3 lateral prostheses (39 patients) was 87. There were three revisions; in the remaining 36 patients the results were: 29 excellent, 3 good, 2 moderate, and 2 poor. In two of the three revisions and in two of the four poor and moderate results, the indications for the procedure were debatable. Our findings confirm the good results reported in other studies and underline the importance of adhering to strict indications to reduce the number of poor results.
