Richard Rhodes, MD, a surgeon with Atlantic Orthopedics, will perform the procedure using the Oxford® implant.
Dr. Rhodes has been performing partial knee replacements for several years and has completed more than 60 during the past year using the Oxford implant.
The Oxford is the only fully-mobile bearing partial knee system available in the United States. It can offer a more natural motion, more flexibility, less pain and a higher success rate for long-term results. These implants are made of metal and plastic materials to create a smoothly functioning joint.
"Patients may be back to work in as little as two weeks as opposed to more than a month with other devices," said Rhodes. "And there are no restrictions on activity following the brief recovery period. It is truly a prosthetic for today's active society."
