    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les ligaments de la cheville sont superficiels et aisément accessibles à l'échographie. Par contre, la fiabilité de cette technique pour l'étude de ces ligaments n'a, à notre connaissance, jamais été validée. Dans ce but, dix chevilles firent l'objet d'une corrélation écho-anatomique. Les cinq faisceaux ligamentaires principaux (trois sur le versant latéral et deux sur le versant médial) ont mesurés à l'échographie et les valeurs été vérifiées après dissection. Cette étude montre que les ligaments de la cheville peuvent être analysés en échographie et que les mesures effectuées sont valables et d'une précision de l'ordre de 2 mm pour le faisceau antérieur et le faisceau moyen du plan ligamentaire latéral. L'échographie paraît donc, par sa simplicité et son faible prix, constituer en élément important du bilan ligamentaire et de la gravité des entorses de la cheville.
    Notes: Summary The ligaments of the ankle are superficial and easily accessible at ultrasonography. Suprisingly, the reliability of this technique has never been proven. With this goal in mind, ten ankles were subjected to a ultrasono-anatomic comparison. The five principle ligamentous fascicles (three on the lateral side and two on the medial side) measured at ultrasonography and the values verified after dissection. This study shows that the ligaments of the ankle are analyzed with ultrasonography and that the measures done are valid and have a precision of 2 mm for the anterior fascicle and the lateral fascicle of the lateral ligamentous plane Due to its simplicity and its low price, ultrasonography appears to be an important method in evaluating the ligaments and the degree of seriousness of ankle sprains.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To compare the computed tomographic (CT) analysis of the distribution of gas and tissue in the lungs of patients with ARDS with that in healthy volunteers. Design: Prospective study over a 53-month period.¶Setting: Fourteen-bed surgical intensive care unit of a university hospital. Patients and participants: Seventy-one consecutive patients with early ARDS and 11 healthy volunteers. Measurements and results: A lung CT was performed at end-expiration in patients with ARDS (at zero PEEP) and healthy volunteers. In patients with ARDS, end-expiratory lung volume (gas + tissue) and functional residual capacity (FRC) were reduced by 17 % and 58 % respectively, and an excess lung tissue of 701 ± 321 ml was observed. The loss of gas was more pronounced in the lower than in the upper lobes. The lower lobes of 27 % of the patients were characterized by “compression atelectasis,” defined as a massive loss of aeration with no concomitant excess in lung tissue, and “inflammatory atelectasis,” defined as a massive loss of aeration associated with an excess lung tissue, was observed in 73 % of the patients. Three groups of patients were differentiated according to the appearance of their CT: 23 % had diffuse attenuations evenly distributed in the two lungs, 36 % had lobar attenuations predominating in the lower lobes, and 41 % had patchy attenuations unevenly distributed in the two lungs. The three groups were similar regarding excess lung tissue in the upper and lower lobes and reduction in FRC in the lower lobes. In contrast, the FRC of the upper lobes was markedly lower in patients with diffuse or patchy attenuations than in healthy volunteers or patients with lobar attenuations. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that striking differences in lung morphology, corresponding to different distributions of gas within the lungs, are observed in patients whose respiratory condition fulfills the definition criteria of ARDS.
