Brief Summary:
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty by unicompartmental prosthesis (PUC) is a treatment for isolated internal femoro-tibial osteoarthritis. This intervention is justified in cases of significant discomfort, failure of medical treatment and the absence of osteoarthritis in femoro tibial external and patellofemoral femoro compartments. It aims to replace the native internal femoral tibial articulation by a joint between two implants, without intervening on the other compartments. The functional results of PUC are superior and faster than those obtained with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Its indications and its realization are on the other hand very demanding to allow an optimal functional result.
Robotic-assisted surgery provides an excellent level of precision, which could allow better positioning of implants, compared to the use of a mechanical ancillary, according to the first published studies. The functional results and survival of these implants could also be improved.
The internal PUC with mechanical ancillary is carried out for many years in the orthopedic surgery department of Croix Rousse. For 3 years this surgery is sometimes performed with robotic assistance.
The investigators would like to prospectively evaluate the clinical and radiological impact of robotic-assisted surgery when performing a Journey unicompartmental prosthesis (Smith \& Nephew).
The assessment of alignment during walking seems to be a paramount parameter in the results of the PUC and has not so far been evaluated in this type of robotic-assisted surgery.
