Record 2 1992-09-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiography (Medicine)
  • Musculoskeletal System
CONT

Widening of the joint space suggests increased volume within the joint cavity. This results from four mechanisms : increased thickness of the cartilage, fluid in the joint cavity, deposition of fibrous material between the articular ends of the bones during the endstage of a destructive process, and resorption of bone.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radiographie (Médecine)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
CONT

L'élargissement de l'interligne articulaire peut être la conséquence soit d'un épanchement, d'un corps étranger ou d'une tumeur intra-articulaire, soit d'une lésion périarticulaire (diastasis ou bâillement à la suite d'une entorse ou d'une fracture); parfois on peut observer un pseudo-élargissement en rapport avec une décalcification sous-chondrale.
