You may need to register on this site to get access to the review. The literature review spans the period 1988-2006. The authors conclude - 

"In carefully selected patients, the Oxford unicompartmental knee replacement has demonstrated excellent long-term survivorship and predictable reliability, not only as reported by the designers from Oxford, but also as reported by many independent centers across Europe and the United States.

The importance of adhering to strict indications for the use of this particular prosthesis cannot be overemphasized. The indications include an intact ACL, bone-on-bone osteoarthrosis of the medial compartment, and patients who have correctable deformity."
