There 8 males 4 females with an average age 42.6 years. The mean postoperative follow-up period was 24.2 months. histopathological findings, locations tumors, clinical analyzed. neurological findings obtained during preoperative stage evaluated according to Frankel...

To investigate the effects of glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) on isokinetic strength, body pain, and quality life in male high school baseball players Korea.Fifty-six were divided into either group A (GIRD≥20°, n=12) or B (GIRD<20°, n=44). The range motion shoulder strength measured. Questionnaires administered regarding pain location by using visual analogue scale, was measured SF-36 Form.All subjects had increased external decreased throwing shoulder. incidence GIRD (≥20°)...

School screening allows for early detection and treatment of scoliosis, with the purpose reducing number patients requiring surgical treatment. Children between 10 14 years old are considered as good candidates school tests scoliosis. The present study was to assess epidemiological findings idiopathic scoliosis in 11-year-old Korean adolescents.A total 37856 adolescents were screened There 17110 girls 20746 boys. Adolescents who abnormal by Moire topography subsequently assessed standardized...

The cervical dynamic rotational plating system may induce bone graft subsidence, so it cause loss of lordosis. However there were few studies for alignments spines influencing the clinical results after using plates. purpose is to evaluate effect subsidence on due plates and correlating with outcomes patients undergoing anterior fusion.Thirty-three disease or fracture underwent decompression fusion a plate. presence extent implant complications, lordosis identified Visual Analog Scale score...

To evaluate clinical results of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) with radiographic staging on patients avascular necrosis femoral head (AVNFH).We evaluated 24 diagnosed AVNFH (32 hip joints) who were treated ESWT from 1993 to 2012. Average follow-up period was 27 months, and the average age 47.8 years. The Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) system used grade stage prior treatment. For this study divided into two groups based their ARCO stage, group 1 (ARCO stages I II) 2...

Similar to lipid emulsion propofol, microemulsion propofol also causes a high incidence of pain during intravenous injection. Various methods have been used minimize the and severity on injection propofol. In this study, we investigated effect lidocaine mixture induced by injection, sought determine optimal dose that could reduce injecting propofol-lidocaine mixture.One hundred sixty (n = 160) patients American Society Anesthesiologists physical status class I or II were randomly allocated...

[Purpose] To report the effects of radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (RSWT) on heterotopic ossification (HO). [Subjects and Methods] Two cases neurogenic HO in upper extremity were administered RSWT using MASTER PLUS(®) MP 2000 (Storz, Tägerwilen, Switzerland) ultrasonographic guidance. The protocol consisted 3,000 pulses at a frequency 12 Hz during each treatment. intensity level ranged from 2-5 bars, it was 5 times week for 4 weeks, total 20 treatments. [Results] improved pain,...

Osteochondroma is a rare condition in the spine that may be indolent due to its slow growth. The authors present case of 32-year-old man with subclinical osteochondroma cervical presenting as Brown-Sequard syndrome after trivial neck trauma. After resection tumor through hemilaminectomy, his symptoms were improved mild residual sequelae.

Purpose: To evaluate the result and complication of treatment using Locking Compression Plate (LCP) for fracture proximal humerus.Materials Methods: Between 2004 2006, 21 patients with two-part three-part fractures humerus were treated by LCP fixation.Their average age was 54.9 years.Postoperative mean follow-up period 22.9 months.The reduction qualified assessed final radiographs.The functional outcome evaluated Neer's rating system.Results: By evaluation, score shoulder function 86.3 18...

The thoracolumbar spine remains the most common site of vertebral column injuries. Surgical stabilization using posterior instrumentation for injuries offers several advantages such as nearly anatomical reduction fractures, protection neurologic function and important early ambulation patient, so major benefits fixation are decreased hospital stay, rehabilitation, prevention deformity pain. treatment fracture-dislocation has been progressively improved over past decades recently a lot...

We experienced a patient in whom rupture of the peroneus longus tendon occurred after ostectomy tubercle calcaneus. Acute can be managed by end-to-end anastomosis, while neglected cases treated tenodesis, transfer, or graft. In current patient, ends were mildly retracted, yielding small gap. successfully repaired retracted lengthening Z-plasty.

Study Design: Cases report Objectives: We 1 case of relatively rare osteochondroma that was in thoracic spine Summary Literature Review: Osteochondroma is one the most common benign tumor bone, consist 40%, but, area occupying only 2%. a 12th vertebra spine, had severe right flank pain. performed en bloc excisional biopsy bony mass. Materials and Methods: A fourty seven-year-old male complained He mass costovertebral junction underwent open excision Results: The preoperative pain disappeared...

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the therapeutic effect oriental medical treatment on Hemophilic arthropathy. Methods: patient was treated by Herb medicine, Acupuncture, Moxibustion, and Cupping. As a result, improvement in ROM joints shown. ROM(Range motion), Lequesne's functional index(LFI), WOMAC index Visual analogue scale(VAS) were used measure progression. Results ROM, LFI, VAS evaluated during admission. All scales improved; knee joint :...
