Record 2 1999-05-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)
DEF

The dense fibrous tissue forming a scar or cicatrix and derived directly from granulation tissue.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Symptômes (Médecine)
CONT

La plaie se rétracte sous l'influence de cellules particulières, les myofibroblastes. En s'appauvrissant progressivement en eau et en contenant de moins en moins de vaisseaux, le tissu de granulation devient plus ferme. Il se transforme en tissu cicatriciel qui, à son tour, favorisera la rétraction cicatricielle.

Record 3 1998-05-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bones and Joints
DEF

Failure of the ends of a fractured bone to unite.

OBS

The term pseudarthrosis is often used synonymously with the term nonunion. A more limited and perhaps more accurate usage would limit use of the term pseudarthrosis to a variant of nonunion in which there is formation of dense scar tissue and a false joint with serum loculated in the cicatricial mass, the synovial pseudarthrosis. [From OTSUR, 1986, p. 80 and FRATH, 1980, p. 90. ]

French

Domaine(s)
  • Os et articulations
DEF

Absence complète et définitive de consolidation d'une fracture.

OBS

La distinction qui existe entre les termes anglais «nonunion» et «pseudarthrosis» ne se retrouve pas dans les textes français. Il serait probablement préférable de parler plutôt d'absence de consolidation (comme équivalent au terme générique anglais «nonunion») et de n'utiliser le terme pseudarthrose que lorsqu'il y a constitution d'une fausse articulation avec cavité liquidienne (pseudarthrose fibro-synoviale).
