Fifteen-year survival analysis of an oxidised zirconium total knee arthroplasty

Early studies have found Oxidised Zirconium (OxZr-Nb) total knee arthroplasties to have a low incidence of failure in young, high demand patients. Theoretically this is because they are low friction and hard wearing. However, there are a paucity of studies reporting on the outcome of these implants beyond ten years. The purpose of our study was to present an in-depth 15-year survival analysis of a cemented OxZr-Nb knee arthroplasty.
