The purpose of this study was to assess the results of arthroscopic subacromial decompression in patients with chronic impingement and to evaluate the results according to the rotator cuff pathology. We evaluated the clinical results of treatment for chronic impingement syndrome in 28 patients from Feb 1996 to Feb 1997. There were twenty men and eight women in age from 24 to 72 years (mean age 51) with dominant arm involvement in sixteen patients. Follow up evaluations averaged 15(range 12-24)months. The average duration of symptoms were 15(range 6­60)months. The final diagnoses which were based on the physical examination, plain radiographs and arthroscopic findings, were stage II impingement in 16 patients and stage ill impingement in 12 patients. We excluded the patients with acromioclavicular arthritis or glenohumeral instability in this study. All patients were managed non-operatively a minimum of six months. During the operation we performed contouring and smoothing the acromial undersurface and only resecting of the anterolateral band of the coracoacromial ligament. The clinical results were quantitated using UCLA shoulder rating score. Satisfactory results were obtained in 23(80%) patients. Unsatisfactory results were obtained in 5(18%) patients with posterior cuff tear. The average UCLA pain score showed significant improvement from 2.8(constant pain) to 7.2(present during heavy activities) at final follow up. The function and active forward flexion scores also increased from their preoperative value. There was no significant differences according to the surface and severity of tear and NeeI' stage (P>0.05). These results compared favorably with those reported following open acromioplasty. While arthroscopic subacromial decompression is a demanding technique with a learning curve, it is a reliable treatment for chronic impingement syndrome. A less aggressive approach to subacromial decompression and preserving the posteromedial band of the coracoacromialligament does not appear to compromise results.

Anatomy: The rotator cuff comprises four muscles-the subscapularis, the supraspinatus, the infraspinatus and the teres minor-and their musculotendinous attachments. The subscapularis muscle is innervated by the subscapular nerve and originates on the scapula. It inserts on the lesser tuberosity of the humerus. The supraspinatus and infraspinatus are both innervated by the suprascapular nerve, originate in the scapula and insert on the greater tuberosity. The teres minor is innervated by the axillary nerve, originates on the scapula and inserts on the greater tuberosity. The subacromial space lies underneath the acromion, the coracoid process, the acromioclavicular joint and the coracoacromial ligament. A bursa in the subacromial space provides lubrication for the rotator cuff. Etiology: The space between the undersurface of the acromion and the superior aspect of the humeral head is called the impingement interval. This space is normally narrow and is maximally narrow when the arm is abducted. Any condition that further narrows this space can cause impingement. Impingement can result from extrinsic compression or from loss of competency of the rotator cuff. Syndrome: Neer divided impingement syndrome into three stages. Stage I involves edema and/or hemorrhage. This stage generally occurs in patients less than 25 years of age and is frequently associated with an overuse injury. Generally, at this stage the syndrome is reversible. Stage II is more advanced and tends to occur in patients 25 to 40 years of age. The pathologic changes that are now evident show fibrosis as well as irreversible tendon changes. Stage III generally occurs in patients over 50 years of age and frequently involves a tendon rupture or tear. Stage III is largely a process of attrition and the culmination of fibrosis and tendinosis that have been present for many years. Treatment: In patients with stage I impingement, conservative treatment is often sufficient. Conservative treatment involves resting and stopping the offending activity. It may also involve prolonged physical therapy. Sport and job modifications may be beneficial. Nonsteroidal anti - inflammatory drugs(NSAIDS) and ice treatments can relieve pain. Ice packs applied for 20 minutes three times a day may help. A sling is never used, because adhesive capsulitis can result from immobilization.

The management of acute acromioclavicular dislocations has usually followed the accepted principles of obtaining an anatomical reduction of the joint and maintaining it until soft tissue healing has occurred. So, the preferred treatment for acute acromioclavicular dislocation is controversial. We analysed operatively treated twenty-eight cases for acute acromioclavicular dislocation between February 1994 and January 1997 and reviewed postoperatively to evaluate the results of three different methods. We collected retrospectively the data via clinical history, associated injury, type of injury, radiographic review, Taft score, and final results. Follow up time averaged 14 months. (range, 12 to 21 ) In according to Rockwood's classification, ]7 cases were type Ⅲ, 1 case was type IV, and 10 cases were type V. Ten cases were treated with the modified Phemister method, ten cases with the modified Bosworth method and eight cases with the modified Weaver-Dunn method. ]n patients treated by modified Phemister method, the Taft score was 9.4 points and 8 cases achieved good or excellent results. In patients treated by modified Bosworth method, the Taft score was 9.8 points and 8 cases achieved good or excellent results. In patients treated by modified Weaver-Dunn method, the Taft score was 10.3 points and 7 cases achieved good or excellent results. The overall Taft score was 9.9 points and 23 cases achieved good or excellent results. There were four complications, such as calcification or metallic loosening or breakage of K-wire, but did not influence late results. In conclusions, there was no significant difference of results regarding the different three methods. However, our results indicated that the coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction by transfer of coracoacromial ligament produced better results.

Objective: The objective of this research is to quantitatively analyze muscle activities of arm and shoulder, according to direction in various types of one-handed manual material handling, based on surface electromyography. Background: Workers in industrial sites frequently carry out one-handed manual material handling using arm and shoulder muscles. Therefore, chronic load and accumulated fatigue occur to arm and shoulder muscles, which becomes a main cause of upper arm and shoulder musculoskeletal disorders. The shoulder muscles have widely range of motion, and complex interactions take place among various muscles including rotator cuff muscles. In this regard, research on interactions among should muscles, according to such various dynamic motions, is required. Method: Ten male subjects in their 20s participated in this research. This research considered upward, downward, leftward, rightward, forward and backward directions and fourteen muscles around arm and shoulder (biceps brachii and trapezius, etc.) as independent variables. The mean muscle activity was set as the dependent variable. This research extracted $4^{th}{\sim}7^{th}$ repetition signals according to ten times of repetitive muscle contraction, and analyzed the muscle activity concerned using the envelope detection technique. Results: The mean muscle activity of upward direction was analyzed highly statistically significant. The reason is that the effect of gravity works to arm and shoulder muscles. Also, it is conjectured that deformation of coracoacromial ligament was caused, and its contact pressure increased, due mainly to the shoulder flexion, and therefore load was analyzed high. Muscle activity was analyzed significantly low, according to concentric ballistic motion used in the concentric contraction phase by storing elastic energy in the eccentric contraction phase with a motion to bring the weight to the front of subject's body as to downward, leftward and backward directions. Because, elbow joint's flexion-extension motions mainly occurred, biceps brachii was analyzed high muscle activity as the prime mover. Conclusion: The information on the quantitative load of muscles can be applied to ergonomic work design for one-handed manual material handling to minimize muscle load. Application: This research has effectively identified muscle activity according to dynamic contraction by applying an envelope detection technique. The results can be used for ergonomic work design to minimize muscle load during the one-handed manual material handling, according to each direction. The research results are expected to be used for musculoskeletal disorder prevention and physiotherapy in the rehabilitation medical field, based on the muscle load of arm and shoulder in various directions.

목적: 견쇄관절의 손상이나 원위 쇄골 골절의 치료에 대해서는 많은 연구가 있으나, 견쇄관절 손상을 동반한 원위 쇄골 골절의 치료에 대해서는 알려진 바가 적다. 저자들은 견쇄관절의 손상을 동반한 원위 쇄골 골절의 수술적 치료 및 결과, 예후를 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 견쇄관절의 손상을 동반한 쇄골 외측단에서 2.5 cm 내를 침범한 원위 쇄골 골절로 수술적 치료를 받은 21명 (21예)의 환자를 대상으로 후향적 연구를 시행하였다. 단순 방사선 사진과 CT상 원위 쇄골의 골절선이 견쇄관절로 연장 (5예)되어 있거나, 7 mm 이상의 견쇄관절의 이개 (separation)가 있는 관절내 골절 (9예), 또는 건측과 비교해서 50% 이상 원위 쇄골의 상방전위가 있는 관절내 골절 (7예)을 견쇄관절의 손상이 있는 경우로 분류하였다. Craig 분류상 III형이 16예, V형이 5예였다. 금속판 (9예), 소형나사 (1예), K 강선 및 긴장대 강선 (10예) 및 경 견쇄관절 K 강선 (1예)을 사용하여 골절을 고정하였다. 건측에 비해 100%이상 원위 쇄골의 상방전위가 있었던 1예 및 골편이 작아 고정력이 약하다고 판단된 1예에서 경 견쇄관절(transarticular AC joint) K 강선 고정을 추가적으로 실시하였다. 견봉 쇄골 인대 또는 오구 쇄골 인대의 봉합이나 재건술은 시행하지 않았다. 결과: 21예 중 20예에서 골유합을 얻었으며 골유합까지의 기간은 평균 8.4주이었다. 최종 추시시 5예에서 견쇄관절의 외상성 관절염이 관찰되었고, 4예에서 견쇄관절의 이개가, 2예에서 건측과 비교하여 50% 이하의 상방전위가 남아 있었으나 견쇄관절의 이개 및 상방전위가 술전보다 증가된 예는 없었다. Kona 등의 기준에 따른 기능적 평가상 19예에서 우수, I예에서 양호, 1예에서 보통의 결과를 얻었다. 견쇄관절 손상의 분류에 따른 UCLA 점수는 I형에서 32.6점, II형에서 34점, III형에서 34.1점이었다. 술전 견쇄관절 손상 종류, 술후 잔여 관절의 이개 및 전위, 외상성 관절염의 유무와 임상 결과간에 유의한 연관성은 관찰되지 않았다 (p>0.05). 합병증으로는 K 강선 및 긴장대 강선 고정술로 고정한 1예에서 불유합이 관찰되어 술후 3개월 금속판 고정술 및 골이식술을 시행하여 골유합을 얻었으며, 금속판 고정술을 시행한 1예에서 추시 관찰 중 내고 정물의 이완이 있었으나 추가적인 치료 없이 골절이 유합되었다. 결론: 견쇄관절로 연장된 골절이 있거나 관절내 골절이 있으면서 견쇄관절 간격이 7 mm 이상 벌어진 경우 또는 정상측과 비교하여 50% 이상 원위 쇄골의 상방전위가 있는 견쇄관절의 손상이 동반된 경우라도 원위 쇄골의 정확한 정복과 견고한 내고정을 통해 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다. 수술 전 견쇄관절의 손상 종류 및 수술 후 경도의 외상성 관절염이나 이개, 상방전위와 임상적 기능 사이에 유의한 연관성은 없었다.
