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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
proportion of patients with Angle Hip Knee Ankle (HKA) (lower limb axis) restitution at 178 ° +/- 2 ° when the foot is touched with the floor and during the single support phase.At 6 month postsurgery

This criterion will be measured using a KneeKG system for dynamic analysis of knee movements.

This system is non-invasive, non-radiating, non-painful. It is a dynamic tibiofemoral tracing device by infrared camera validated. The KneeKG system will be used according to its instructions for use.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Radiological positioning of implantsAt 6 month and 24 month postsurgery

Measurements of HKA, frontal alignment of tibial and femoral implants, sagittal alignment of the femoral implant, tibial implant slope and the presence of peri-prosthetic edgings will be performed on a Standard radiography of the knee operated from the front, in profile and on a standing pangonometry

Comparison of the means of the International Knee Society (IKS) overall score between the groups.At 6 month and 24 month postsurgery

This is the international benchmark for clinical and functional evaluation in knee surgery. The 2011 version provides a more accurate, complete and comprehensive vision than the previous version.

Comparison of the Forgotten Joint ScoreAt 6 month and 24 month postsurgery

The Forgotten score helps to analyze the patient's attention to the fact that his articulation has been replaced.
