The OxfordŽ Partial Knee Replacement
If knee pain is changing your lifestyle, then you need to know this: The new concept in joint replacement surgery is to only replace the worn out portion of the arthritic joint. The OxfordŽ Partial Knee Replacement is the first implant that can accomplish this task with proven long term results of 95% at 15 years and beyond.1. For this reason the OxfordŽ makes a whole or total knee joint replacement NOT necessary in many cases.
The OxfordŽ Partial Knee Replacement prosthesis allows for better range of motion of the knee by virtue of replication of the function of the menisci and allows for more normal motion of the human knee. In some cases, this prosthesis may be applicable to individuals who were previously considered too young to undergo a total knee replacement. With the OxfordŽ Partial Knee Replacement only a portion of the knee needs to be replaced. The OxfordŽ implant utilizes a minimally invasive procedure in which patients may experience less pain and a quicker recovery time than experienced with a total knee replacement.
As a qualification to implant the OxfordŽ Partial Knee Replacement, Dr. Parker has attended a required Food and Drug Administration approved training course. This course is required because the surgical technique for this implant is very precise. In light of his interest in knee pain, Dr. Parker attended the first available training course for this prosthesis and has already implanted over fifty of them.
If you have substantial pain in your knee you should consider scheduling an appointment with Dr. Parker for a complete evaluation to determine if may be a candidate for an OxfordŽ Partial Knee Replacement.
