[Treatment of degenerative disease of knee joint with the Oxford prosthesis].
Eleven patients with single compartment arthrosis of the knee were treated surgically, using the Oxford prosthesis. The age of the patients at the time of surgery ranged from 48 to 73 years. Varus deformity of the knee before surgery ranged from 0-23 degrees (average: 11 degrees). Patients with arthrosis of the medial compartment were elected for surgery. Surgery was performed only when passive correction of the varus deformity was possible and when the cruciate ligaments were intact. In all cases surgery yielded a stable knee joint.
