Record 3 2010-06-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bones and Joints
DEF

A fracture attributed to the strain of prolonged walking or exercise.

CONT

Bone scanning in the evaluation of exercise - related stress injuries.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Os et articulations
DEF

[...] micro-fracture à l'échelon de l'estéon [...] se complétant par persistance du stress soumis à l'os sous forme d’une authentique fracture macroscopique créant une solution de continuité complète sur la pièce osseuse.

OBS

Le terme fracture de fatigue est ambigu : il fait croire que l’os intéressé est un os fatigué [...] alors qu’une fracture de fatigue survient sur un os strictement normal [...] pourquoi il semble plus logique de parler de fracture de stress, reflétant davantage les circonstances de survenue [de la fracture].

Record 4 1998-05-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bones and Joints
DEF

Failure of the ends of a fractured bone to unite.

OBS

The term pseudarthrosis is often used synonymously with the term nonunion. A more limited and perhaps more accurate usage would limit use of the term pseudarthrosis to a variant of nonunion in which there is formation of dense scar tissue and a false joint with serum loculated in the cicatricial mass, the synovial pseudarthrosis. [From OTSUR, 1986, p. 80 and FRATH, 1980, p. 90.]

French

Domaine(s)
  • Os et articulations
DEF

Absence complète et définitive de consolidation d’une fracture.

OBS

La distinction qui existe entre les termes anglais «nonunion» et «pseudarthrosis» ne se retrouve pas dans les textes français. Il serait probablement préférable de parler plutôt d’absence de consolidation (comme équivalent au terme générique anglais «nonunion») et de n’utiliser le terme pseudarthrose que lorsqu’il y a constitution d’une fausse articulation avec cavité liquidienne (pseudarthrose fibro-synoviale).
