CONT

Évaluation, classification et traitement de la lésion du ligament croisé antérieur (LCA). La rotation de la surface corticale de la baguette osseuse tibiale de la greffe os-tendon rotulien-os (OTRO) et le positionnement de la vis d'interférence vers l'avant évitent le conflit avec le toit de l'échancrure intercondylienne dans un tunnel tibial antérieur (flèche).

OBS

Il y a quelques années, le terme greffe désignait le transfert d'un tissu (greffe de la peau) tandis que transplant était utilisé pour désigner le transfert d'un organe (transplant de rein); ces termes sont peu à peu devenus synonymes et aujourd'hui on dit couramment greffe du rein.
