Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This research reports a medical report of the surgery using the cementless Oxford UKR applied on 276 patients in a medical center with a follow-up of five years. The results show good clinical outcome with a satisfaction and survival rate of the employed cementless (OUKR). The following notation should be unified: Oxford UKR and OUKR. Moreover, the English spelling needed to be approved.

Reviewer 2 Report

- minimum 5-yrs fup is in 216 knees (201 pts).... then title and abstract should be corrected

-again, patients cohort paragraph is unclear and also causes for revision surgery and/or failure have to be clarified better

Reviewer 3 Report

Dear Authors,

The manuscript is well written and interesting for other researchers, as well as surgeons. I have only few comments.

Introduction: "According to The German Arthroplasty Registry 2021, 111,365 primary knee arthroplasties were performed nationwide in 2020 [7]." - data from 2020 are probably the latest, but they can be not reliable, as the number of surgeries was probably (like in other contries) affected by COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of 2020, it would be better to cite data from 2019.

Material and Methods:

- please, divide this section into subsections to make it easier to read,

- you used non-parametric tests to evaluate a group of 300 knees - please provide the justification for this; did you checked data distribution before?

Results:

- please, number the subsections to make it easier to read,

- quality of the figures is relatively low - probably it is caused by some technical issues, but please provide figures in good quality for publication purposes.
