Purpose: This study compared the SLAP lesions caused by a sports-induced injury with those caused by a non-sports-induced injury. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on 54 patients who had undergone arthroscopic surgery for a SLAP lesion. There were 21 sports-induced-injury patients (group I) and 36 non-sports-induced injury patients (group II). The mean age of the men was 36 years and that of the women was 48 years. In both groups, the frequency of a concomitant injury and the clinical outcomes at the last follow-up was evaluated using the UCLA score, Rowe score, and the ASES score. Results: According to their injury mechanism, , there were 14 cases (67%) of repeated microtrauma injury in group I and 25 cases (75%) of compression injury type in group II. As a concomitant pathology, there was 11 cases of shoulder instability and 5 cases of a rotator cuff tear in group I, and 23 cases of rotator cuff tears and 14 cases of shoulder instability in group II. At the last follow up, group I showed slightly better clinical satisfaction (P>0.05). Conclusion: The possibility of a SLAP lesion accompanying other diseases is high. Therefore, an accurate assessment of concomitant injury lesions before surgery is important for the treatment outcome.

This study aimed to identify the efficiency of short track-related sports injury prevention program consisted of muscle strength and neuromuscular training on non-contact injury incidence and characteristics in knee and ankle joints and low back for elite short track speed skaters. Twenty-five short track athletes who belonged to G-City Team were participated in this study from Nov. 2017 to Jul. 2018. Information on their sports injuries occurred were collected and injury prevention program was applied in their warm-up every training sessions and competition. Also their symptom-level of knee and ankle joint and low back were measured by using OSTRC overuse injury questionnaire and Cumberland ankle instability(CAIT). The injury incidence rate after application of prevention program was 2.79 injuries/1,000 hour exposures(HEs), which was lower than before (3.04 injuries/1,000HEs). The OSTRC score (30.89±28.34 and 23.84±23.61, respectively) in knee and low back after application of prevention program were lower than before (58.47±26.77 and 52.36±21.55, respectively), and the CAIT score (13.47±6.07) in ankle joint after application of program was higher than before (16.26±7.28), which means that their symptom-level was alleviated with sports injury prevention program. In conclusion, the sports injury prevention program designed for short track's motion and characteristic can have positive influences on the occurrence of non-contact injury for short track speed skaters.

With the increase of participation in the sport activities, there has been a commensurate rise in the number of sport injuries. A more commonly encountered injured region in the upper-extremity is the wrist. Sport injuries are often characterized as overuse and traumatic. Traumatic injuries include fractures, dislocations, and ligament tears often seen in contact or collision sports. Overuse injuries, represented damages by a level of repetitive microtrauma sufficient to overwhelm the tissues$^{\circ}{\O}$ ability to adapt, include inflammatory conditions such as De Quervain$^{\circ}{\O}s$ disease, extensor carpi ulnaris tendinitis, intersection syndrome. Also included is a traumatic problem such as stress fractures of the hook of the hamate, subluxation of the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon, chronic scapholunate instabilities, and degenerative triangular fibrocartilage tears. This review will focus on both overuse and traumatic injuries of the wrist in the athletes. A significant emphasis will be placed on the evaluation, pearls and pitfalls of conservative and operative treatments.

Sports injuries of the foot and ankle are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Ultrasound is very useful for the diagnosis of such injuries, because it is more economical, readily accessible, and can perform a dynamic study compared to magnetic resonance imaging. This review focused on the sonographic features of common foot and ankle sports injuries.

최근에 스키가 동계스포츠로 각광받으면서 스키인구가 폭발적으로 증가함에 따라 스키손상도 많이 발생하게 되어 스키손상은 스포츠외상에서 중요한 비중을 차지하게 되었다. 스키인구의 증가에 따라 스키손상에 대한 정확한 분석과 이에 대한 예방대책이 절실히 요구되며 이에 경희대학교 의과대학 정형외과학 교실에서는 1982년 12월부터 1995년 3월까지( 1986년과 1987년을 제외 ) 11년간 용평스키장내에 동계스포츠클리닉을 개설하여 상기 기간 중 내장한 총 스키인구 3,093,667명중 스키손상으로 동계스포츠클리닉에 내원한 7,172명의 환자$(0.23\%)$에 대하여 스키손상의 년도별 발생빈도, 스키손상의 특징 스키골절과 탈구의 발생빈도 및 특징 등에 대하여 11년 간의 변화추세를 분석하였다. 11년 간의 스키장의 내장객수는 1983년을 기준 (83,100)으로 하였을 때 1995년에 $977\%로 국부 큰 증가를 보였으며, 스키인구 1000명당 손상율은 1983년의 3.4에서 1995년의 1.4(평균 2.3)로 감소하는 추세를 보였다. 스키손상의 형태는 단순열상 및 타박상등을 제외하고 슬관절 인대손상이 $22.6\%로 가장 많이 발생하였으며, 조사기간동안 수치상의 의미 있는 변화는 없었다. 스키골절 및 탈구는 스키인구 1000명당 평균 0.35였으며, 1983년의 0.90으로부터 점차 감소하여 1995년에는 0.21에 이르렀다. 연령별 스키골절 및 탈구는 20세 이하에서 평균 $41.6\%로 전체적으로 성인에서 더 많이 발생하였으며, 이는 처음 3년 간 20세 이하 골절 및 탈구가 $70.5\%로 높은 발생빈도를 보였으나 1995년도의 20세 이하 골절 및 탈구가$30.3\%까지 감소하게되어 년도가 증가함에 따라 청장년 층에 비하여 소아골절 및 탈구가 전체적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 스키골절의 부위별 발생빈도는 1990년 이전까지 하지골절 및 탈구가 많았으나 이후 점차 상지의 골절 탈구가 증가하였다 하지에서 가장 많은 골절은 경골 골절이었으며, 경골골절은 회전력에 의한 나선형골절이 $76.5\%로 가장 많았고 년도에 따른 변화는 보이지 않았다. 스키손상의 발생빈도는 초기에 비하여 점차 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 손상의 특성도 부위별, 연령별로 다양한 변화를 나타내었다.

There is a large number of old athletes participating golf, and the shoulder, especially the nondominant or lead arm, appears to be at greatest risk for golf-related injury during extremes of motion. To reduce and prevent the risk of injury and improve the performance of golf, golfer should understand the biomechanics of the golf swing, increase flexibility, and perform stretching and strengthening exercises regularly .

This study was conducted to investigate the relation between visual analogue scale and recovery time with type of injury that occur in elite wrestling athletes. The incidence rate of injury was analyzed the Poisson ratio, and the VAS and recovery time according to the type of injury were compared using the one-way ANOVA. In addition, the VAS and recovery time were examine the relationship using the Simple Linear Regression, and statistical significance level was α =.05. Injuries occurred most commonly in the ligament, followed by the muscle, cartilage and tendon.The VAS and recovery time according to the type of injury was statistically significant (p=.001, p=.001, respectively). The VAS and recovery time according to the type of injury was statistically significant (p=.001, p=.001). Also, increase in VAS of 1 point was associated with about 1.89 recovery time. These studies are expected to be useful as basic data for return to sports and safe training.

Injury of articular cartilage can be classified into acute injury and chronic degenerative osteoarthritis Acute mechanical trauma on articular cartilage causes injuries that are divided into three distinct types based on the depth of injury: microdamage, chondral fracture, osteochondral fracture and each type has different potential of healing response and long-term prognosis. Articular cartilage undergoes degradation in response to a number of stimuli and eventually degenerative osteoarthritic changes will progress. The extent of initial injury to the articular cartilage is the most important factor affecting the long-term outcome of the healing response and other variables such as the size of lesion, site, age, activity level, obesity, limb alignment are also important factors. In this review, the pathophysiology that occurs within articular cartilage after different injuries and the effect of nonsurgical treatment mainly in physicochemical aspect and biological aspect will be discussed.

The thrower's shoulders require a delicate balance between mobility and functional stability. First step to successful nonoperative management is an accurate diagnostic approach. Rehabilitation program follows a well-organized, multiphase approach with focus on controlling painful inflammation, restoring muscle balance, obtaining joint flexibility, improving proprioception and neuromuscular control, and effectively returning to competitive pitching. In this article, the typical musculoskeletal profile of the overhead thrower and various rehabilitation programs for specific injuries are discussed.
