Abstract

Purpose: To report the usefulness of dynamic ultrasonography in subluxation of the long head of the biceps tendon, which is difficult to detect with static imaging such as plain radiography, static sonography, MRI and in a subtle physical examination. Materials and Methods: Two male patients suffered from subluxation of the long head of the biceps. This difficult diagnosis? was managed by surgery (biceps soft tissue tenodesis) with the aid of dynamic ultrasonography. At final follow up, we evaluated patients' symptoms and functional outcomes using KSS, UCLA and ASES scores. Results: We diagnosed and treated subluxation of the long head of the biceps easily using dynamic ultrasonography. At the final follow up, both patients' symptoms and functional outcomes were improved. There were no significant complications. Conclusion: Dynamic ultrasonography is a useful method in the difficult and subtle diagnosis of subluxation of the long head of the biceps.

목적: 이학적 검사나 단순 방사선, 정적 초음파, 자기공명영상 등의 검사를 통해 진단하기 어려운 상완 이두건 장두 아탈구의 진단 시 동적 초음파의 유용성에 대해 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 동적 초음파를 이용해 상완 이두건 장두 아탈구로 진단된 2명의 남자환자에 대해 관절경을 이용한 연부조직 상완 이두건 장두 고정술을 시행하고 증상 및 기능적 회복 정도를 평가 하였다. 결과: 동적 초음파를 이용해 상완 이두건 아탈구를 쉽게 진단할 수 있었으며 수술 후 증상 및 기능적 평가에서도 향상을 나타내었다. 수술 후 특이한 합병증은 발생하지 않았다. 결론: 진단이 어려운 상완 이두건 장두 아탈구의 진단 시 동적 초음파의 이용은 유용한 방법으로 판단된다.
