Popis: Purpose. To report the early results of the Oxinium Genesis II prosthesis with an oxidised zirconium femoral component in 55 patients. Methods. 71 knees in 21 men and 34 women aged 32 to 75 (mean, 55) years were evaluated; 16 of the patients had bilateral staged total knee replacements with a mean interval of 9 (range, 6–16) months between surgeries. The indications for surgery included osteoarthritis (n=57), rheumatoid arthritis (n=13) and revision from a unicompartmental knee replacement for osteoarthritis (n=1). Postoperatively, patients were evaluated using the Knee Society score (KSS), the modified Oxford Knee Score, and the SF-12 health survey, as were component position, leg and knee alignment, and prosthesis-bone interface or fixation on radiographs. Results. The mean follow-up was 62 (range, 51–88) months. The mean KSS, Oxford Knee Score, and SF-12 physical component score improved significantly. Radiolucent lines (
