Record 2 2017-06-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)
  • Bones and Joints
DEF

A test of rupture of the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments of the knee. The knee can be subluxed anteriorly with external rotaion of the tibia, but the knee cannot be subluxed anteriorly with forced internal rotation of the tibia.

CONT

In Slocum's test, the patient is positioned laterally with the healthy side down. The leg with the injured knee rests only on the medial side of the foot; the knee is unsupported. The examiner grasps the distal femur with one hand and the proximal tibia with the other and slowly flexes the knee. Again, a subluxation sign can be observed at about 30° flexion if anterior cruciate insufficiency is present.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes diagnostiques (Médecine)
  • Os et articulations
CONT

Test de Slocum [...] : au départ, le genou est en extension, pied reposant sur la table. Les 2 mains de l'examinateur sont situées de part et d'autre de l'interligne et exercent une poussée valgisante vers la flexion. Au cours de ce mouvement de flexion, on peut percevoir un ressaut signant l'atteinte du LCAE. À partir d'une position de flexion, l'examinateur peut induire le mouvement de retour avec perception de ce ressaut au cours de l'extension du genou.

Record 3 2012-08-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Meats and Meat Industries
  • Regulations and Standards (Food)
DEF

[The] portion of the hip [of beef] which is separated from the round by a straight cut which passes through the base of the shaft of the leg bone(distal extremity of the femur) and from the shank by a straight cut passing through the stifle joint(tibio-femoral articulation).

CONT

[The] heel of round is a boneless, wedge-shaped cut containing top, bottom, and eye of round muscles. It is the least tender cut of round and has considerable amounts of connective tissue. It is usually prepared by braising or by cooking in liquid.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Salaison, boucherie et charcuterie
  • Réglementation et normalisation (Alimentation)
DEF

Partie de la cuisse [de bœuf] qui est séparée de la ronde par une coupe franche à la base du corps de l'os de la jambe (extrémité distale du fémur) et du jarret par une coupe franche à travers le grasset (articulation tibio-fémorale).

Record 4 2012-02-01

English

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

Tapping of the patella with the fingers against the underlying anterior surface of the distal femur.

CONT

A moderate effusion gives rise to a patellar tap. With the knee straight the suprapatellar pouch is emptied by pressure with one hand, and the parapatellar compartment by pressure with the other hand, leaving the index finger free to elicit the tap. With this finger the patella is pressed sharply against the femur. If there is sufficient fluid to "float" the patella off the femur it will be felt to tap against the femur.

OBS

The term "patellar tap" was recommended by the Medical Signs and Symptoms Committee.

French

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

La mise en évidence d'un choc rotulien [...] se recherche sur un sujet couché, membre inférieur en extension, talon légèrement surélevé pour obtenir un relâchement total du quadriceps. La main gauche empaume la région tibiale, la main droite empaume la partie inférieure de la cuisse au-dessus de la rotule comprimant les culs-de-sac latéraux pour faire refluer vers la région sous-rotulienne le liquide qui est contenu dans l'articulation.

OBS

Le «choc rotulien» est surtout net dans les épanchements de moyenne abondance.

Record 5 2011-05-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Musculoskeletal System
DEF

A deformity at the end of certain long bones, especially the distal end of the femur, when there is a failure of the shaft of the bone to model to its normal tubular shape, with the result that the bone is wide for a much longer distance up the shaft than normal, giving it the appearance of an Erlenmeyer flask which is shaped like a truncated, somewhat blunted cone.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareil locomoteur (Médecine)
DEF

Déformation par défaut de modelage normal de l'extrémité distale de certains os longs, du fémur en particulier. Au lieu de la forme tubulaire normale, l'extrémité distale de l'os est plus volumineuse, lui donnant un aspect en flacon d'Erlenmeyer.

Record 6 2010-07-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orthopedic Surgery
CONT

Distal epiphyseodesis of the ipsilateral femur... was performed in three of the four patients to minimize the anterior prominence of the knee. Two patients required a closing wedge osteotomy of the distal part of the femur to improve the alignment.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie orthopédique
CONT

Ostéotomie cunéiforme: L'ablation d'un coin osseux permet de corriger assez simplement une déformation purement angulaire, c'est-à-dire sans défaut de rotation majeure.

Subject field(s)

Record 8 1997-08-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Prostheses
CONT

This modular device system may contain a number of alternate tibial plate/stem, femoral head/stem and patellar device designs in various sizes, with appropriate wedges as required for individual patients manufactured from a single material.

CONT

Stems and Wedges :-modular metal wedges have more stability than bone graft or cement;-stem transfers up to 30% of force from bone subtending component to a point more proximal in the femur or more distal in the tibia.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prothèses
CONT

En cas de perte de substance osseuse importante on ne peut pas toujours faire une résection à la limite de l'éculement osseux et il faudra alors combler l'espace entre l'os et la prothèse par des greffons osseux, du ciment ou des cales métalliques.

CONT

Efficace par la modularité des cales tibiales, des cales fémorales et des tiges de différentes longueurs. [Relevé sur une page publicitaire parue dans la Revue de chirurgie orthopédique et réparatrice de l'appareil moteur]
