Spanish term

desplazamientos de los cóndilos sobre la glenoides

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) meniscus injuries
I'm having problems particularly with 'glenoides' as I could only find mention of them with reference to the shoulder joint. I wonder if there's a mistake here (also should say 'las glenoides' instead of 'la', I presume).

"Ciertos movimientos de la rodilla pueden producir lesiones en los meniscos, cuando no siguen los desplazamientos de los cóndilos sobre la glenoides. Esto ocurre cuando, por ejemplo, hay un movimiento brusco de extensión de la rodilla, algo muy común en futbolistas. En este caso no hay tiempo a que se adelante el menisco, quedando encasillado entre el cóndilo y la glenoides. "

platillos tibiales=tibial plateau.

"Articular cartilage - It is the material that covers the end of the bones of any joint in the human body. Its function is to avoid the direct contact of bones. In knee joint it prevents the wear of contacting surfaces between tibia and femur. It provides the slippery surfaces which allow the femoral condyles to slide over the tibial plateau without damaging each surface.

This is the general idea, anyway, I think. There may be a better way of saying it. In this case, injury to the meniscus is a caused by a sudden movement, which prevents the condyles from sliding correctly.

The meniscus has an important function in knee extension and flexion. ... This result may be caused by the relationship of meniscal movement with femoral condyle shape and motion. The convex femoral condyle slides and rolls on the tibial plateau with knee flexion and inevitably pushes the meniscus to move backward.21 ago. 2014

Thanks Lisa, glad to be of help!

Thanks, Neil!
agree Anne Schulz : I found the same: the name "glenoid", in its general sense of "shallow hollow", would be applicable to any shallow joint surface, and the Spanish rightly use it for the tibia, while the English (and most others) use it for the shoulder glenoid only.

Thank you very much, Anne. Thanks for explanation. I found:https://juliosoguero20.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/173/ Borde superior: presenta dos carillas articulares llamadas glenoides o platllos tibiales, seems like interchangeable.
agree Chema Nieto Castañón : In the specific context maybe something along the line of "do not follow the movement of the femoral condyles over the tibial plateau"...

Thanks, Chema, and yes. I'm sure you are right.
Something went wrong...
