Record 4 2010-02-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radiography (Medicine)

Record 6 2000-09-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
  • Orthopedic Surgery
CONT

Based on the preoperative measurements, a Steinman pin is driven vertically into the shaft of the radius 4 cm proximal to the osteotomy site. The osteotomy is usually placed at the original site of the fracture or approximately 2 cm proximal to the joint surface. A second Steinman pin is inserted into the distal part of the radius just proximal to the articular surface to create an angle with the perpendicular pin that is equivalent to the premeasured deformity in the sagittal plane. ]

Record 8 1992-09-16

English

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

An angle defined by a line drawn tangential to the tibial crest, a second line tangential to the proximal tibial articular surfaces and a third line perpendicular to the tibial crest line. The interval found between the second and third lines defines the angle. The normal angle range from 7 to 22 ° with a mean of 14 ° and a standard deviation of [+ or-] 3. 6 °. This angle is useful in determining the degree of depression of the tibial plateau due to fracture. [From LUSRO, 1978, p. 190. ]

French

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

Angle calculé à partir de la tangente à la crête tibiale, de la tangente au plateau tibial et d'une troisième ligne tracée à partir du point de rencontre de ces deux tangentes, et perpendiculaire à la première. L'angle que forme ces deux dernières lignes constitue l'angle du plateau tibial. Il se situe normalement entre 7 et 22 °, pour une moyenne de 14 [0+ ou -] 3,6 °. Cet angle permet d'évaluer l'enfoncement dans une fracture du plateau tibial.

  • Musculoskeletal System
DEF

A dense line roughly paralleling the articular surface of the humerus, which corresponds to the impacted fracture seen in posteriorly dislocated shoulders on frontal radiographs. [From WORTH, 1986, p. 263. ]
