Abstract
- Dislocation of the bearing of the Oxford medial unicompartmental arthroplasty is a rare but serious complication. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman with a classic anteromedial arthritis who had 2 bearing dislocations within the first 3 months after index surgery. These were attributable to posterior bony impingement of the bearing against a small retained osteophyte. After arthroscopic resection of the osteophyte, she has retained her original components with no further dislocations or signs of impending failure 7 years later. This case report emphasizes the importance of osteophyte removal from the back of the femoral condyle during an Oxford unicompartmental arthroplasty.<br /> ((c) 2010 Elsevier Inc.
