A test for ligamentous instability of the knee performed by stabilizing the femur while placing a valgus stress on the knee by abducting the leg. A moderate joint line separation with the knee fully extended indicates a tear of the medial collateral ligament and the posterior capsule. If the test is only positive in 30 degrees of flexion, it represents an isolated medial collateral ligament tear. A marked medial joint line opening in extension is only possible when both cruciate ligaments are also torn. 3, record 2, English, - abduction%20test

Manœuvre destinée à évaluer l'instabilité du genou. Le fémur étant immobilisé, on exerce une tension en valgus sur le genou en forçant la jambe vers l'extérieur. Un écart modéré de l'interligne articulaire, le genou étant en extension, indique une déchirure du ligament latéral interne et de la capsule postéro-interne. Si l'épreuve n’ est positive que lorsque le genou est fléchi à 30°, elle indique la déchirure seule du ligament latéral interne. Une ouverture marquée de l'interligne articulaire, le membre étant en extension, n’ est possible que si les deux ligaments croisés sont également déchirés. 1, record 2, French, - man%26oelig%3Buvre%20d%27abduction

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Forces capillaires. À l'interface entre deux phases, il existe une tension superficielle liée à la nature des deux substances en contact, qui traduit l'écart entre les forces d’attraction des molécules avec celles qui sont à l'intérieur de leur phase et celles qui sont à l'extérieur. L'eau est «mouillante» avec la plupart des solides c'est-à-dire que l'angle de raccordement de l'interface air-eau avec les solides est aigu. De part et d’autres de l'interface air-eau la pression est différente. L'écart, la pression capillaire, est d’autant plus élevé que le rayon de courbure est plus court. L'air est à la pression atmosphérique(phase continue). L'eau peut ainsi se retrouver à une pression négative(c'est la succion capillaire) : ceci explique l'existence d’un profil d’humidité au-dessus de la ligne de saturation d’un aquifère. 3, record 4, French, - tension%20capillaire
