Clinical Studies Show Oxford® Microplasty® Instrumentation to be Reproducible, with Shorter OR Time and Reduced Risk of Dislocation1-4

Biomet

Hurst, J. et al. found that Oxford Microplasty instrumentation simplifies the surgical technique, providing more accurate and reproducible femoral and tibial implant positioning.1

The study showed that Microplasty instrumentation also resulted in a greater number of 3 mm and 4 mm bearings being implanted (92% vs. 84%; p=0.001)1 compared to Phase 3 Instrumentation, which Pandit, H. et al demonstrated has better survivorship than 5 mm bearings and thicker.2

A further study by Berend, K. et al. found a reduction in OR time of almost 9 minutes when using Microplasty Instrumentation compared to Phase 3 Instrumentation.3

Furthermore, Koh, et al. showed that Oxford Microplasty instrumentation reduced the risk of dislocation compared to Phase 3 Instrumentation.4

In the United States (US), the Oxford Partial Knee is intended for use in individuals with osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis limited to the medial compartment of the knee and is intended to be implanted with bone cement; it is not indicated for use in the lateral compartment or for patients with ligament deficiency. Potential risks include, but are not limited to, loosening, dislocation, fracture, wear, and infection, any of which can require additional surgery. For complete prescribing information, see the package insert and www.zimmerbiomet.com.
Various countries outside of the US offer Oxford partial knees intended for lateral use and Oxford Partial Knees with cementless application; these devices are not available for sale in the US. Check for local product clearances and reference product specific instructions for use.
