varus

Definition

Conformational feature of the limbs when viewed from the front or the back. The axis of the distal portion of a limb shows a medial deviation with respect to the axis of the proximal portion of the limb. The deviation is usually at the level of the carpus, tarsus or fetlock joint. The joint in question may lie lateral to (outside) the normal limb axis; carpus or tarsus varus are therefore also known as "bow-legs."

Translations :

varus , m

On parle d'un varus lorsque la ligne des rayons osseux formant l’articulation est brisée vers l'extérieur
(latéralement).
Chaque articulation d’un membre peut être en varus. Le siège d’un varus correspond au rayon osseux dont l’axe longitudinal n’est pas perpendiculaire à l’axe transversal de sa surface articulaire. Les deux axes forment un angle aigu en interne (médialement).

varus

Exterieur, Ansicht von vorne oder hinten: O-Beinigkeit auf Höhe von Karpus oder Tarsus, wobei diese Gelenke aussen von der Gliedmassenachse positioniert sind.
