3D Knee Kinematics
Conditions
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

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 3D knee kinematics | 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
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation of kinematic data with clinical laxity tests | On the day of surgery, before knee arthroscopy | With the kinematic measurement device attached to the bones of the lower limbs, various knee laxity tests will be performed by a physician while the kinematics of the knee are recorded; correlations will be sought between the subjective evaluation of the physician and the kinematic data. |
