Spanish term or phrase: esquina tibial

Hi all,

Currently translating an MRI report for a knee injury (ligament damage).

Here's the context:

----------------

Asimismo se aprecia edema con rotura parcial delas fibras profundas del todo del complejo colateral interno con rotura parcial del ligamento de soporte interno-meniscofemoral .No se aprecian datos de avulsión cortical de la ***esquina tibial*** en relación con fractura de Segond.

----------------

I haven't come across this term before, and haven't found any obvious matches in the usual terminology sites. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,

Scott

English translation:lateral aspect of the tibial plateau

Explanation:
"La Fractura de Segond corresponde a una avulsión ósea de la meseta tibial lateral, en la inserción del ligamento capsular lateral, con un mecanismo de rotación interna y rodilla en flexión. Se puede localizar mejor en una radiografía AP. La presencia de esta fractura es altamente específica de lesión del LCA (75-100% de especificidad), aunque sólo está presente en aproximadamente un 10% de los casos."https://kineytraumatologia.wordpress.com/2015/11/19/fractura... I suggest "meseta tibial lateral" or lateral aspect of the tibial plateau as a suitable translation for the term esquina tibial .

Not a typo; lateral aspect of the tibial plateau

"La Fractura de Segond corresponde a una avulsión ósea de la meseta tibial lateral, en la inserción del ligamento capsular lateral, con un mecanismo de rotación interna y rodilla en flexión. "
https://kineytraumatologia.wordpress.com/2015/11/19/fractura...

La meseta tibial lateral puede expresarse gráficamente como esquina tibial, pues será esta la localización de la fractura / arrancamiento característica (definitoria) de la fractura de Segond en una radiografía anteroposterior.

"La Fractura de Segond corresponde clásicamente a una avulsión ósea de la zona de inserción tibial del ligamento capsular lateral "

"Segond fracture is an avulsion fracture of the knee that involves the lateral aspect of the tibial plateau and is very frequently (~75% of cases) associated with disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear."

Granted, it's not very common and could even be a calque, nonetheless, it does exist.

It's a question of finding what the regular name for it is in Spanish.

Esquina Tibial does not exist in Medical Spanish.

The correct term in Espina Tibial, I think there was a typo in the report and they meant "Espina Tibial."

I don't know enough about this to post an answer yet, but I found a number of references to the "metaphyseal corner fracture" and the "posterolateral corner".

This is a medial tibial plateau fracture with a split or depressed component. It is usually the result of a high energy injury and involves a varus force with axial loading at the knee. Represent 10% of all tibial plateau fractures. There is high risk of damage to the popliteal artery and peroneal nerve and therefore carry a worse prognosis. May include distraction injuries to lateral collateral ligament, fibular dislocation/fracture, posterolateral corner.

I wouldn't be so quick to jump to the conclusion that it's a typo.

Are you sure it's esquina tibial and not espina tibial. The latter is a known anatmical landmark.

Tibial Tubercle

Explanation:
Hello,

I think there is a typo in this report and they meant "ESPINA TIBIAL" which in English is Tibial Tubercle.

The tibial tubercle is a large oblong elevation at the proximal end of the tibia to which the ligament of the patella attaches.

I am posting two references, one in Spanish and one in English.

Some explanation:

The extensor mechanism consists of the tibial tubercle, the patellar tendon, the patella, the quadriceps tendon, and the quadriceps muscle. The quadriceps muscle (large muscle on the front of the thigh) attaches to the quadriceps tendon which attaches to the patella (kneecap). At the bottom of the patella is the patellar tendon. It runs from the inferior pole of the patella (bottom) to the tibial tubercle (front of the tibia or shin bone) just below the front of the knee. As the quadriceps muscle contracts (shortens), it pulls on the quadriceps tendon, the patella, the patellar tendon, the tibial tubercle, and the tibia to move the knee from a flexed (bent) position to an extended (straight) position. Conversely, when the quadriceps muscle relaxes, it lengthens. This allows the knee to move from a position of extension (straight) to a position of flexion (bent).

[posterolateral] corner of the tibia

Explanation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterolateral_corner_injuries
In the posterolateral corner, the bony landmarks of the tibia, fibula and femur serve as the attachment sites of the ligaments and tendons that stabilize this portion of the knee. The patella plays no significant role in the posterolateral corner. The bony shape of the posterolateral knee, with the two convex opposing surfaces of ...
