Traumatisme crânien fermé. Dans ce type de lésion, il n’y a pas pénétration du crâne, ce dernier reste donc intact. Le cerveau est bousculé à l’intérieur du crâne, ce qui entraîne des ecchymoses et une lésion. Alors le cerveau gonfle et subit une rupture de vaisseau qui provoque des hématomes. Ces deux conditions, déclenchent des lésions supplémentaires. Bien qu’il se peut qu’il n’y ait qu’un point initial d’impact, les dommages qui en résultent sont de type diffus et touchent de nombreuses zones cérébrales. 2, record 2, French, - traumatisme%20cr%C3%A2nien%20ferm%C3%A9

Les TC [traumatismes crâniens] peuvent être classés selon trois types, en fonction de la nature de la blessure du crâne : traumatisme crânien fermé, fracture avec enfoncement du crâne et fracture ouverte du crâne. Cette classification est importante, car elle permet de définir la nécessité de traitement chirurgical. 3, record 2, French, - traumatisme%20cr%C3%A2nien%20ferm%C3%A9

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.] 2, record 4, English, - tibial%20plateau%20angle

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. 1, record 4, French, - angle%20du%20plateau%20tibial
