The goal of this prospective randomized double-blind study is to compare clinical and radiological results of cemented and uncemented total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Two hundred and fifty patients will be randomized in two groups : cemented TKA and uncemented TKA. The primary outcome is the comparison of the International Knee Society (IKS) Score revised in 2011 at one year postoperative. The second outcome is the comparison of standard one year-postoperative x-rays looking for signs of loosening.

QUADRUPLE
Each patient of this arm will go under a surgical procedure of total knee replacement (or total knee arthroplasty) using cemented femoral and tibial prosthetic components.
Each patient of this arm will go under a surgical procedure of total knee replacement (or total knee arthroplasty) using uncemented femoral and tibial prosthetic components.
Hôpital de la Croix-Rousse
Lyon, France
IKS 2011 Score measuring the clinical results of TKA
IKS 2011 Score will be assessed for each patients and the mean IKS Score will be compared between both arms
Time frame: One year postoperative
Number of patients in each arm with radiological loosening signs of the TKA components
At one year postoperative, each patient will go under standard radiological exam seeking for signs of loosening of the prosthetic components. The number of patients presenting radiological signs of loosening will be compared between both arms.
Time frame: One year postoperative
