Abstract Background: The use of Oxford Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty (UKA) has increased rapidly both Western and Asian populations. And Oxford UKA also has excellent functional outcomes with high patient satisfaction. While previous evidence regarding clinical outcomes and survival rate after Oxford UKA based on studies in western populations, results may be different in Asian patients. Thus, the relevance of age for postoperative function after Oxford UKA is therefore still unclear. Hence, the aim of our study was to clarify the effectiveness and safety of Oxford UKA in Asian patients aged over 80 years. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of 195 patients (209 knees)who underwent OxfordUKA between June 2015 and January 2018. We divided all patients into threegroups (ages 60–69; ages 70-79; age over 80). We used the HSS score and WOMAC score to evaluate the general condition of the patients’ knees before surgery and at last follow-up.We also recorded perioperative complications and short-termcomplications. Result: 60 patients (60 knees) between the ages of 60 and 69 (Group 1), 70 patients (79 knees) between the ages of 70-79 (Group 2) and 65 patients (70 knees) over 80 years old (Group 3) were included in the study. The mean follow-up was 21.34±12.04, 22.08±11.38 and 21.76 ± 10.20 months in Group 1, 2 and 3, respectively.At last follow-up, the patients in Group 3 showed lower function scores as compared to group 1 and 2 ( P <0.05), butthe HSS score and the WOMAC score were significantly improved in three groups after surgery. In terms of perioperative and other complications, the three age groups did not differ significantly. Conclusion: Oxford UKA is an effective and safe treatment for osteoarthritis, even in old adult patients in China.Elderly patients have lower knee function scores than younger patients. But the knee joint pain symptoms of the elderly patients are relieved and the function is also improved compare to preoperative condition.

We divided the patients into three groups by age: Group 1, 60-69 years; Group 2, 70-79 years; and Group 3, over 80 years. We used the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score and Western Ontario and McMaster (WOMAC) Universities Osteoarthritis Index score to evaluate the general condition of the patients’ knees before surgery and at last follow-up. We also recorded perioperative and short-term complications.Result: Group 1 consisted of 60 patients (60 knees); Group 2, 70 patients (79 knees); and Group 3, 65 patients (70 knees). The mean follow-up was 21.34 ± 12.04, 22.08 ± 11.38, and 21.76 ± 10.20 months in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

Elderly patients have lower knee function scores than younger patients. However, the knee joint pain of the elderly patients was relieved and function improved compared to the preoperative condition.
