neutral texjax DDS PhD : Stai aggirando l'ostacolo. Trauma distorsivo si riferisce alla dinamica del trauma, non al tipo di lesione (e' palese che si tratti di una lesione ai legamenti del ginocchio)

il problema è che il termine "distorsione" ci dice che i capi articolari hanno compiuto un movimento forzato oltre i limiti fisiologici, ma non ci dice in quale direzione - non è detto che si tratta di rotazione o "twisting"
