Anche: http://www.merck.com/mmpe/sec21/ch309/ch309f.html dove è scritto: Other bedside testing is done to check for specific injuries. For the Apley compression test, the patient is prone, and the examiner stabilizes the patient's thigh. The examiner flexes the patient's knee 90° and rotates the lower leg while pressing the lower leg downward toward the knee (compression), then rotates the lower leg while pulling it away from the knee (distraction). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-09-02 18:05:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- E ancora: Similar injuries Assessing an injured MCL is determined upon evaluation with emphasis placed on history, palpation, and stress tests. Differential diagnosis of MCL injuries must be made to rule out other significant injuries with similar mechanisms of injury. Other similar injuries include contusions, usually associated with direct contact to the (medial) knee without the foot being planted, injuries to the meniscus, capsular injuries, and ACL sprains that are associated with similar mechanisms. ACL sprains are commonly associated with MCL sprains. Meniscal injuries can accompany MCL sprains either from distraction on the medial side or compression on the lateral side. Special tests will help determine this. Questo viene da: http://www.stockton.edu/ospreys/ComInjuries/MCLSprain.htm |

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Sprain Explanation: http://www.noah-health.org/en/bjm/knee/conditions/ligament/i... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 min (2008-09-02 17:02:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.med.umich.edu/1libr/sma/sma_ancrulig_sma.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 min (2008-09-02 17:22:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.centromedicomantia.it/minisitocentrostudi/frame/c... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 min (2008-09-02 17:28:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.minervamedica.it/pdf/R24Y2005/R24Y2005N07A0115.pd... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 50 min (2008-09-02 17:42:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Uno dei traumi più frequenti dello sportivo è la distorsione del ginocchio, che consiste nella lesione di uno o più dei suoi legamenti. Semplificando un po’ l’anatomia, possiamo dire che la stabilità del ginocchio è dovuta principalmente a 4 robusti legamenti (Fig. 1): 1. il legamento collaterale interno; 2. il legamento collaterale esterno; 3. il legamento crociato anteriore; 4. il legamento crociato posteriore. Contribuiscono inoltre alla funzione stabilizzatrice, l’integrità dei menischi e una buona efficienza muscolare. Il meccanismo che provoca la lesione dei legamenti nello sportivo è una torsione del ginocchio verso l’esterno (Fig. 2) o verso l’interno (Fig. 3), con piede fisso al suolo, come avviene nei cambi di direzione in corsa ( calcio, basket, rugby), nelle ricadute da un salto (volley), nelle cadute con gli sci. Quindi generalmente lo sportivo si fa male “da solo” e non per il brutto intervento di un avversario. La lesione dei legamenti può essere di I, II, o III° grado, a seconda se le sue fibre hanno subito una lieve distrazione, una discreta distrazione con rottura parziale, o una rottura completa http://www.sport.it/articoli/2001/07/11/145026.php -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 57 min (2008-09-02 17:50:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Non sono sinonimi ma sono una la causa e l'altro l'effetto, ossia,con la distorsione che è l'atto in questo caso di rotazione repentina o forzata del ginocchio che ti ha portato ad avere la distrazione(piccolo stiramento)del legamento(LCA) http://it.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=2007101212350... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 ora (2008-09-02 17:54:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A sprain (from the French espraindre - to wring) is an injury which occurs to ligaments caused by a sudden overstretching (for the muscle injury, see strain). The ligament is usually only stretched, but if it is completely torn, a longer period of immobilization and surgical repair may be necessary. Degrees Although some signs and symptoms can be used to assess the severity of a sprain, the most definitive method is with the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Sprains are graded in four degrees. * The first degree is only a minor tear or stretch of a ligament. * The second degree is a tear of a ligament, which is usually followed by pain or swelling. * The third degree is a complete rupture. * The fourth degree is the most severe and actually breaks the ligament, along with some small bones if severe enough, and requires surgery to repair. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprain -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 ora (2008-09-02 18:04:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Distorsione 2 CO TS med., lesione traumatica di un’articolazione con stiramenti o strappi tendinei o capsulari: d. della caviglia Distrazione 4 TS med., stiramento traumatico di un tessuto muscolare o tendineo (De mauro) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 ora (2008-09-02 18:12:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.answers.com/sprain -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 ora (2008-09-02 18:24:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Distraction in En is a sort of technique in order to repair joint enjuries. IT IS NOT an injury itself. (It's a false friend) Joint distraction (the use of a surgical frame around a degenerated joint to strengthen and promote repair) promotes cartilage repair in severe end stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, http://esciencenews.com/articles/2008/06/13/joint.distractio... The examiner flexes the patient's knee 90° and rotates the lower leg while pressing the lower leg downward toward the knee (compression), then rotates the lower leg while pulling it away from the knee (distraction). (I hope that examiner will not provoke an injury - if distraction is an injury - to the patient) http://www.merck.com/mmpe/sec21/ch309/ch309f.html http://www.medigraphic.com/ingles/i-htms/i-inge/i-ib2004/i-i... |
