Diz Lateralinin Avülsiyon Kırığı: Segond Kırığı

Abstract

Segond kırığı klasik olarak tibial plato seviyesinin hemen altında, proksimaltibianınlateralinde oluşan avülsiyon kırığı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Genellikle dizin rotasyonu sırasında oluşan travmalarda daha sık görülür ve kompleks diz yaralanmalarında Segond kırığı, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) yırtığı için patognomik bir bulgudur. ACL yaralanması olan hastaların %75-100’üne Segond kırığının eşlik ettiği görülmüştür. ACL ile birlikte, lateral kapsül veya lateral menisküs yırtılması ile ilişkilidir ve kronik anterolateral diz instabilitesine neden olabilmesi açısından önemlidir.

Avulsion Fracture of the Lateral Knee: Segond Fracture

Abstract

Segond fracture is classically defined as an avulsion fracture occurring just below the level of the tibial plateau, lateral to the proximal tibia. It is more common in traumas that occur during rotation of the knee, and in complex knee injuries, Segond fracture is a pathognomonic finding for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. It has been observed that 75-100% of patients with ACL injuries are accompanied by a Segond fracture. Along with the ACL, it is associated with rupture of the lateral capsule or lateral meniscus and is important in that it can cause chronic anterolateral knee instability.
