Partial ACL tear

Isolated ruptures of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are the most frequent ligament of the knee. These breaks may be complete or partial. In partial tears, clinical diagnosis is more difficult because the clinical presentation is variable. The diagnosis, evolution in time and treatment   its partial tears are still subject to much controversy. The purpose of this article is to clarify the definitions, clinical diagnosis and therapeutic strategies to these partial ACL tears. (read more ...)

Emergency - The knee is a major articulation of the march, its management must be quick to avoid sequelae.

Studies show that women are 5 times more sprains than men. One begins to understand why! Preventive strategies are now resulting in more efficient!

The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in bell clapper is a rare ACL injury often overlooked.

The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common injuries in athletes. Many studies have shown that equivalent practical level the risk of ACL injury in women was four to seven times higher than in men [1-4]. In the US, approximately 38,000 ACL injuries in female athletes occur per year [5].

Women have four to eight times more likely than men to have a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This risk seems more important during the pre-ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle than during the post-ovulatory phase. The main objective of the study was to describe the distribution of ACL injuries during the menstrual cycle in a large recreational skiers population.

The main goal of this study Was to compare the results of the GNRB   arthrometer To Those of Telos TM in the diagnosis of partial thickness tears of the anterior cru- ciate ligament (ACL).   A prospective study Performed January- December 2011 included all patients presenting with a partial or full-thickness tears ACL without ACL recon- struction and with a healthy contralateral knee. Anterior laxity Was Measured in all patients by the Telos TM and GNRBÒ devices.

A sprain is a traumatic affection of one or more ligaments. This traumatic injury ranges from simple stretching (mild sprain) to the complete break can be a simple stretching of the ligament (severe sprain).

It is necessary to distinguish:
- The fracture lesions which are always found with certainty notion traumatic (new or old)
- Chronic lesions with onset of osteonecrosis subchondral more or less extensive, described in the literature under different terminologies (osteochondrosis, osteochondritis, osteonecrosis).

This distinction seems to us essential because etiology, radiographic appearance, treatment and prognosis of such lesions are sometimes totally different.
