Overview
Brief Summary
Problem : Precise and personalized 3D knee kinematic assessment during physical and daily life activities is a challenge; therefore, it was never performed on an important number of individuals. However, a better understanding of 3D knee kinematics during such activities would allow a better understanding of this often injured joint.
Hypothesis: A new system using personalized 3D bone imaging and a percutaneous bone fixation device that can be used under local anesthesiaallows for precise and reproducible assessment of 3D knee kinematics during physical and daily life activities.
Objectives :
- To study human knee 3D kinematics during dynamic activities using a novel minimally invasive measuring system
- Investigate the correlations between standard clinical knee laxity tests and measured 3D knee kinematics during dynamic activities
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients awaiting knee arthroscopy under local anesthesia for a medial meniscal tear
Exclusion Criteria
- •Active infection
- •Severe swelling of the knee
- •Knee flexion contracture
- •Knee flexion less than 120 degrees
- •Gross limping
- •Inability to perform the various motor tasks required by the study protocol
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
3D knee kinematics
Time Frame: On the day of the surgery, before knee arthroscopy
The investigators will investigate if 3D knee kinematics can be precisely and safely measured under local anesthesia during various motor tasks (walking, squatting, pivoting, jumping): kinematic data will be analyzed in search of signs of artefact movement and kinematic aberrations, which would indicate problems with the measurement system.
Secondary Outcomes
- Correlation of kinematic data with clinical laxity tests(On the day of surgery, before knee arthroscopy)
