Well I am new here but like many not new to knee problems! I had an Oxford knee device implanted less than one year ago and have had all sorts of problems. Firstly I developed stress fractures under the tibial implant and now have been told the tibia implant has moved and the femoral implant was never installed correctly in the beginning. I have had several opinions and all agree that I have no choice but to have a total knee revision at this time. The problems are so bad that the implants are causing more damage to the tibia. In my searches on the net I cannot find any comparisons between the different products that are avaliable. I have found such companies as DuPey, Zimmer, Stryker, Biomet, Smith & Nephew to name a few. My problem is which one to go with? Each surgeon is trained in only one or two so they will sell the one they work with only. I am hoping to get some info from the folks that have them and hear what they think. Initially I was a perfect candidate for the Oxford and am very dissappointed at the outcome. Sorry to say I cannot give details about the cause of the stress fractures so please bear with me on that. I am 56 yeras old in great shape thin so my weight is no issue. I am a former bicycle racer and have worked out my whole life. My concerns are ROM, rotational abilities and longevity of the implants so let me know what you all think. I have another appt Monday with a revision specialist and would GREATLY appreciate any info you can share with me.
Good Health To All!
