Cementless Partial Knee Replacement

At Orthopedic Associates, we’re committed to offering the most advanced options in joint care. One of those innovations is the Oxford® Cementless Partial Knee replacement—the first and only FDA-approved cementless partial knee replacement available in the United States.

This state-of-the-art procedure is designed for patients with arthritis confined to a single compartment of the knee. Unlike traditional total knee replacement, the Oxford Cementless Partial Knee preserves more of your natural bone and ligaments, helping maintain a more natural range of motion.

By using a cementless implant, the procedure supports better bone integration, reduces the risk of complications, and promotes faster healing. The result is less pain, quicker recovery, and improved long-term outcomes.

Some of the benefits cementless partial knee replacement can offer patients include:

  • Cementless design: Allows bone to grow into the implant for long-term stability and avoids cement-related issues, like loosening, cement debris, and inflammation.
  • Bone and tissue preservation: Maintains more of the patient’s natural knee for better function and easier future revisions.
  • Minimally invasive: Smaller incisions and less tissue disruption leads to less pain, lower blood loss, and faster recovery.
  • Normal-feeling knee movement: Retains key ligaments for natural knee motion.
  • Quick rehabilitation: Most patients return to daily activities and even low-impact sports sooner, often with same-day surgery.
  • Easy revisions: If needed, converting to a total knee replacement is typically simpler than revising a full knee replacement.

Not everyone is a candidate for partial knee replacement. If your arthritis is limited to one part of your knee, you may benefit from this less invasive option.
