We are excited to announce that Orthopaedic Surgeon Doug Olson, MD, now offers qualifying patients the latest technology in partial knee replacement in the U.S., which includes the FDA-approved Oxford® Cementless Partial Knee.
“I chose to start using the press-fit partial knee replacement implant for a number of reasons,” shares Dr. Olson. “First, it has been a well-established and successful procedure in Europe for about a decade. So, while this is not a new implant, it is new to the U.S. and the Toledo area. Second, the trend in partial and total knee replacement is for cementless fixation.”
This technology offers a cementless coating for improved fixation and better long-term implant survival rate – with 94% survivorship at 10 years in the National Joint Registry.
“The implants have gotten better where we do not need the cement to glue the implants to the bone as often,” Dr. Olson explains. “By not using the typical cement, this is one less thing that can fail as the years go on. Sometimes, when using cement in joint replacement, there can be small bits of cement that break off and can irritate parts of the knee. By avoiding the cement altogether, we do not have to worry about this.”
This method for partial knee replacements is a less invasive approach and has been proven to improve patient outcomes compared to a total knee replacement.
