German term

Tibia-Oberdach

German to English Medical Medical (general) ankle surgery
Die distale ventrale Tibiavorderkante dient nun als Referenzlinie für die Festlegung der tibialen Resektionshöhe. Unter Berücksichtigung des Knorpelverlustes und anatomischer Besonderheiten sollte die Höhe des tibialen Schnittes so geplant werden, dass ca. 3-4 mm über dem Scheitelpunkt des **Tibia-Oberdaches** reseziert wird. Bezogen auf die ventrale Tibiavorderkante und Beachtung der Konkavität bedeutet dies, dass am Resektionsblock 6 bis 7 mm Resektionshöhe eingestellt werden.

Any help appreciated, as usual!

tibial upper roof

The distal anterior tibial crest is now used as reference line for defining the tibial resection height. In view of cartilage loss and anatomical features, the height of the tibial cut should be planned so as to resect approximately 3-4 mm above the apex of the ***tibial upper roof***. Based on the anterior tibial crest and taking into account the concavity, this means that at the resection block, 6-7 mm can be set as the resection height.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Gudrun Maydorn (X) : I don't have time to research, but can there be such a thing as an UPPER roof? I thought a roof was always the highest/outermost bit.

neutral Steffen Walter : Your examples do not prove usage of the complete term "tibial upper roof".
