Brief Summary: Arthritic disease in people less than 60 years old is increasingly common. Younger, active individuals often present now to orthopaedic surgeons requiring treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Knee arthroplasty has been offered as a viable option to provide pain relief and improve function in the middle-aged patient.

In a previous study submitted for publication, the investigators have looked at BMD in vivo after total knee replacement comparing two different tibial base plate designs in cemented and uncemented implants in terms of stiffness and modularity, and its effect on bone density changes, synovitis, osteolysis or survivorship. The investigators found a difference of 18% in bone mineral density favoring trabecular metal implant over cemented modular metal-back implant in patient between 55 and 75 years of age. The trabecular metal implant thus behaved as it was expected and preserved bone density in an elderly population.

No randomized clinical trial has looked at cemented titanium tibial insert to uncemented trabecular metal tibia insert in young population. In order to isolate stiffness as study variable, one would aim at randomizing a homogeneous patient population undergoing total knee arthroplasty with implants of similar articular geometry designs with different tibial baseplate, titanium versus trabecular metal. The trabecular metal implant is closer to human bone modulus of elasticity.
Detailed Description: THE GOAL OF OUR STUDY IS TO

1. Quantify the amount of bone remodeling 24 months after total knee arthroplasty using sequential dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry of the proximal tibia in younger and more active patients (less than 60 years of age).
2. Evaluate the evolution of functional outcome over a 24 months period using sequential subjective and objective clinical evaluations using the Knee Society Score (KSS) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Sf-12 v2 in this cohort of patients.
3. There is also an interest in looking at the activity level before and after the surgery (by using the Tegner Activity Level Scale and the UCLA Activity Level Scale) and to determine the ability to return to an active lifestyle and the impact on implant survival.

Two groups will be created:

Group 1: NexGen cemented modular metal-backed tibial implant (Titanium) Group 2: NexGen uncemented Trabecular Metal(TM) modular tibial implant A total of 88 patients will be recruited
