While the search results don't contain specific information about Oxinium knee replacements, it's important to note that this is a valid concern for those with metal allergies. The best approach would be to discuss your specific case with your rheumatologist and an orthopedic surgeon who has experience with metal-sensitive patients.

For knee replacements in general, they can be very helpful in managing severe joint damage from RA when other treatments haven't provided adequate relief. The decision should be made in partnership with your healthcare team, taking into account your specific symptoms, level of joint damage, and overall health status. You might want to ask your healthcare team about:
• Your specific allergy profile and how it might affect implant choices
• The surgeon's experience with Oxinium implants
• Expected recovery timeline
• Physical therapy requirements post-surgery
• How the surgery might affect your current RA management plan
