  • Diagnostic Procedures (Medicine)

CONT

The step-off test is a sensitive uniplanar test for determining PCL [posterior cruciate ligament] injury and posterior instability. Normally, the medial tibia plateau protrudes anteriorly 1 cm beyond the medial femoral condyle when the knee is flexed to 90° ... The step-off is lost when there is a posterior sag of the tibia associated with injury to the PCL and other secondary restraints to posterior translation of the tibia.

CONT

Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is one of the most common leg injuries in athletes and soldiers. The incidence of MTSS is reported as being between 4% and 35% in military personnel and athletes. The name given to this condition refers to pain on the posteromedial tibial border during exercise, with pain on palpation of the tibia over a length of at least 5 cm. Histological studies fail to provide evidence that MTSS is caused by periostitis as a result of traction. It is caused by bony resorption that outpaces bone formation of the tibial cortex. Evidence for this overloaded adaptation of the cortex is found in several studies describing MTSS findings on bone scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scan and dual energy x-ray absorptiometry.

For several decades, Chopart's amputation has met with some skepticism owing to reports of significant equinus deformity developing soon after the procedure is performed. However, with appropriate tendon balancing, which generally includes anterior tibial tendon transfer and tendon Achillis lengthening, this level of amputation is often more functional than slightly more distal amputations, such as Lisfranc or short transmetatarsal amputations.

DEF

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.]

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 °.
