Introduction Malgré des résultats fonctionnels supérieurs à ceux des prothèses totales du genou et des taux de survie à dix ans supérieurs à 95 % dans plusieurs études récentes sur les prothèses unicompartimentales (PUC), leurs résultats sont encore considérés comme aléatoires. La première cause d’échec étant le descellement tibial, nous avons cherché à cerner les critères de bon positionnement de l’implant tibial des PUC médiales. Matériel et méthode Il s’agissait d’une étude rétrospective multicentrique portant sur 559 PUC médiales réalisées entre 1988 et 2010 chez 421 patients (159 hommes et 262 femmes), d’âge moyen 69,51 ± 8,72 ans lors de l’intervention. Les paramètres radiographiques analysés étaient : la hauteur de l’interligne, l’obliquité de l’implant tibial, sa pente, son orthogonalité avec le composant fémoral et la déformation du membre. Les données cliniques étaient recueillies selon le score de l’IKS. Le recul moyen à la révision était de 5,17 ± 4,33 ans. Résultats Le taux de survie à dix ans était de 83,7 ± 3,5 %. La survie était diminuée en cas de modification de la hauteur de l’interligne de plus de 2 mm, en cas de modification de l’obliquité de l’implant tibial de plus de 3°, en cas de pente de plus de 5° ou d’une modification de celle-ci de plus de 2° et d’une divergence intraprothétique de plus de 6°. Un varus mécanique résiduel supérieur ou égal à 5° était aussi un facteur d’échec mécanique. Seule l’élévation de l’interligne articulaire de plus de 2 mm a péjoré le score-fonction. Discussion La précision requise pour positionner l’implant tibial de la PUC médiale illustre le degré d’expertise technique nécessaire à sa réalisation. Elle réaffirme le fait que la PUC est avant tout une chirurgie conservatrice. Son positionnement doit être optimal pour espérer restituer la cinématique physiologique du genou, prévenir la dégradation des compartiments adjacents et celle des implants. Niveau de preuve IV étude rétrospective.

Introduction In several recent studies, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) produced better functional outcomes than did total knee arthroplasty with 10-year prosthesis survival rates greater than 95%. Nevertheless, UKA is still widely viewed as producing inconsistent results. Tibial component loosening is the leading cause of failure. We consequently sought to identify tibial component position criteria associated with outcomes of medial UKA. Material and methods We conducted a retrospective multicentre study of 559 medial UKAs performed between 1988 and 2010 in 421 patients (262 females and 159 males) with a mean age of 69.51 ± 8.72 years at surgery. We recorded the following radiographic parameters: joint space height, obliquity and slope of the tibial implant, whether the tibial component was perpendicular to the femoral component, and lower limb malalignment. The International Knee Society (IKS) score was used to assess clinical outcomes. Mean follow-up at re-evaluation was 5.17 ± 4.33 years. Results The mean 10-year prosthesis survival rate was 83.7 ± 3.5%. Factors associated with decreased prosthesis survival were a greater than 2-mm change in joint space height, a greater than 3° change in tibial component obliquity, a slope value greater than 5° or a change in slope greater than 2°, and more than 6° of divergence between the tibial and femoral components. Residual mechanical varus of 5° or more was also associated with mechanical failure. The only factor associated with worse functional score values was joint space elevation by more than 2 mm. Discussion The high level of accuracy required for optimal positioning of the tibial component during medial UKA indicates a need for considerable technical expertise and emphasises the conservative nature of the procedure. Optimal positioning is crucial to restore normal knee kinematics and to prevent implant wear and lesions to adjacent compartments. Level of evidence IV, retrospective study.

Computer-assisted surgery has become commonplace in orthopedic surgery. The number of applications grows steadily as does the number of patients benefiting from these new techniques. The hearty debates heard when these techniques were first introduced have now given way to more evidence-based evaluation. Our objective here is to continue this approach by presenting our six-year experience with navigation. We will not discuss the theoretical background of these technologies nor attempt to present an exhaustive review of the literature but rather focus attention on surgical skills acquired by a group of surgeons working in a wide range of areas. The common point is that all have now integrated computer-assisted navigation into their routine surgical practices including: a) first-intention and revision knee arthroplasty; b) hip arthroplasty; c) anterior cruciate ligament surgery; d) proximal tibial osteotomy; e) shoulder arthroplasty. We will terminate this round table with a presentation of future technological advances and propose our advice for an increasingly widespread use of these new techniques.

... However, there is stronger evidence regarding the importance of accurately reconstructing the patient's MPTA. Maintaining an optimal MPTA is crucial to prevent excessive varus or valgus alignment, which may accelerate polyethylene wear and implant loosening [7,17,22]. Hernigou and Deschamps [13] reported that valgus overcorrection in UKA increases lateral compartment degeneration risk, reinforcing the importance of precise intraoperative tibial resections. ...

... Conversely, various studies described good outcomes following appropriate implant alignment [19,20] and operative indication for UKA [21,22]. Therefore, appropriate positions of femoral and tibial components are critically related to the clinical outcomes and durability; valgus alignment in the coronal plane and significant posterior slope in the sagittal plane at the tibial component should be avoided [19,23]. In addition, Barbadoro et al. reported that > 5° of a varus misalignment has the risk of loosening the tibial component [8]. ...
