Abstract
The description of the Oxford Knee starts with an explanation of the function of mobile bearings in knee prostheses. An obvious advantage is that the areas of contact between the joint surfaces are maximised. In this chapter, we shall show that wear at the polyethylene surfaces is thereby minimised and that optimal kinematics can be achieved with minimal risk of loosening. We will discuss the biomechanics of the cementless components and problems that may occur with the tibia.
