Bicruciate-retaining (2C) Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) Versus Posterior-stabilized (PS) Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)

Sponsor: Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM)

Summary

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with the sacrifice of the anterior cruciate ligament is the standard treatment for severe knee osteoarthritis. A number of studies on the kinematics of the prosthetic knee tend to show that implants that preserve the cruciate ligaments best reproduce the kinematics of the healthy knee. The goal is to compare the clinical and radiological results in patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery according to the type of prosthesis used. It is anticipated that the bicruciate-retaining prosthesis will result in better function of the operated knee than the posterior-stabilized prosthesis. Method: * Randomized controlled trial * Monocentric * Randomization will be done using sealed envelopes
