Loosening of the femoral component after unicompartmental knee replacement

A P Monk et al. J Bone Joint Surg Br. 2009 Mar.

Abstract

We describe a technique for the diagnosis of loosening of the femoral component of the Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Replacement using accurately aligned lateral radiographs in extension and flexion. If gaps are present between the component and cement on one radiograph and not on the other, the component is loose.
