ANNOUNCER: 

AS BABY BOOMERS AGE, MORE PEOPLE THAN EVER ARE FACED WITH THE CHALLENGES OF LIVING WITH ARTHRITIS. AS THEY DESIRE TO STAY ACTIVE, SPECIAL ATTENTION IS BEING GIVEN TO THE MANAGEMENT OF OSTEOARTHRITIS AND THE TREATMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THOSE IN NEED.  DOCTOR KEITH BEREND FROM JOINT IMPLANT SURGEONS, INC., IN ALBANY, OHIO SAYS MANY PEOPLE WITH OSTEOARTHRITIS MAY BE CANDIDATES FOR PARTIAL KNEE REPLACEMENT.  ONE OPTION, THE OXFORD® PARTIAL KNEE SYSTEM, HAS REMAINED A VALUABLE TREATMENT OPTION FOR 35 YEARS.  

DR. KEITH BEREND:

“For many people living with knee pain, a partial knee replacement is a good option because it allows the surgeon to preserve the healthy part of the knee and only replace the bad part.  The type of surgery used can also reduce blood loss and lead to a faster recovery.  The Oxford® Partial Knee is unique because the design more closely replicates normal movement and provides for a more natural feeling knee in range of motion.  The Oxford® solid performance record provides the surgeon and the patient with the confidence they need when making a decision about partial knee replacement surgery.”
