Record 2 2012-02-20

English

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

The angle formed by a line drawn through the center of the long axis of the neck of the femur meeting a line drawn in the transverse axis of the condyles, when the bone is viewed from above, looking straight down through the head of the femur; used to illustrate the normal degree of anteversion about 12 of the neck of the femur, which may be increased or decreased in some diseases.

OBS

NOTE Several methods can be used to measure this angle e.g., Dunlap method, Magilligan method, Thazos method, Budin-Chandler method. Nowadays, this measurement is more easily obtained by computerized tomography.

French

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

Angle formé par l'intersection de l'axe du col du fémur et le plan bicondylien qui, en principe, est parallèle à la table d’examen et au bord inférieur du film. Il ne faut considérer comme franchement pathologique que les chiffres supérieurs à 25 °. Plus rarement, l'angle peut s’inverser, lorsque l'axe du col est oblique en dedans, en arrière et en haut : c'est alors la rétroversion du col du fémur.

OBS

Plusieurs méthodes permettent de mesurer cet angle. Exemples : méthode de Dunlap, méthode de Magilligan, méthode de Thazos, méthode de Budin et Chandler. De nos jours, cette mesure s’obtient plus facilement par la tomodensitométrie.
