Long-term outcomes of the cementless Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Replacement: a 16-year follow-up study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aims: Cementless fixation is an alternative to cemented unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), with several advantages over cementation. This study reports on the 16-year survival and ten-year clinical and radiological outcomes of the cementless Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Replacement (OUKR). Methods: This is a prospective study of the first 693 consecutive cementless medial OUKRs implanted in New Zealand. Results: The 16-year survival was 89.2%, with 46 knees being revised. The most common reason for revision was progression of arthritis, which occurred in 24 knees. The other reasons for revision included ten bearing dislocations, eight of which were for trauma, one ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), two tibial plateau fractures, three cases of polyethylene wear, three cases of aseptic loosening, one impingement secondary to overhang of the tibial component, one deep infection, and one revision where the reason was not stated. At the 14 to 16 years survey, the mean Oxford Knee Score (OKS) improved from 23.3 (SD 7.4) to 40.59 (SD 6.8). Radiological analysis at ten years demonstrated no evidence of femoral loosening, subsidence, or radiolucent lines. There were 42 complete radiolucent lines in zone 7 around the tibial baseplate, and ten incomplete radiolucent lines seen in other tibial zones with no progression. Conclusion: The cementless OUKR is a safe and reproducible procedure with excellent 16-year survival, clinical outcomes, and radiological outcomes in the hands of surgeons who are independent of the design centre.
