Radiographic findings of degenerative joint disease (DJD) in the coxofemoral joints were studied in 108 dogs referred to Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, College of Veterinary Medicine, Seoul National University. Radiographic findings were identified with a extended ventrodorsal projection. Clinical signs such as pain in the affected joint, exercise intolerance, lameness, crepitation on flexion and extension of the joint and decreased range of motion, were shown in 40% and radiographic changes of bilateral coxofemoral joints were identified in 69% of a group of dogs. There are no sex predilections. Thirty-seven dogs were diagnosed as canine hip dysplasia (CHD; 10 cases), avascular necrosis of the femoral head (Legg-Calves-Perthes disease [LCPD]; 12 cases), fracture of the acetabulum (1 case), luxation(10 cases) and subluxation (15 cases), however, luxation and subluxation were identified in 11 dogs affected with CHD and LCPD. Causes of DJD in others (71case) were not identified. Radio-graphic findings identified included osteophyte formation at the attachment of the joint capsule (70%), sclerosis of the subchondral bone of the cranial acetabular edge (47%), remodeling of the femoral head (34%), thickening of the femoral neck(31%), perichondral osteophyte formation (31%), joint laxity (30%) and so on. All of the dogs diagnosed as CHD were large breed such as Retriever, Germain Shepherd, and Weimaraner and their age was under 1 year. This condition occurred bilaterally in 70% of affected animals. Dogs diagnosed as LCPD were young (under 1 year), small breed dogs. The incidence of LCPD is greater in Yorkshire Terrier, Miniature Pinscher and Poodle. This condition occurred unilaterally in 67% of affected animals. Clinical signs of dogs with unknown cause were shown in 15% and this condition occurred bilaterally in 75% of affected animals. Radiographic findings varied with patient's age and breed, however, the most common finding was osteophyte formation at the attachment of the joint capsule.

Purpose : Shoulder subluxation is a very common problem in patients with hemiplegia with stroke. Prevention of the low tone subluxed shoulder has been an issue for physical therapists working with neurological patients for many years. Methods : This study reviewed the literature to definite the management and a cause of shoulder subluxation with hemiplegia patients after stroke. Various modalities have been suggested for realigning the glenohumeral joint, but their use is controversial. The purpose of this paper is to review critically the evidence base in order to inform the clinical decision-making process for physiotherapists working in neurology. Results : Literature has identified supports, strapping and functional electrical stimulation(FES) in the management of low tone shoulders. Following review of this evidence it is suggested that there is a lack of reliable and valid research evidence on which to base conclusions. The modalities with the best supporting evidence for realigning the low tone subluxed glenohumeral joint are the triangular sling, Harris hemi sling and the Rolyan humeral cuff used in a standing position and the lap board and arm trough while the patient is sitting. However, due to soft tissue adaptation with associated lack of movement, over-correction and the need for careful patient positioning these supports need to be evaluated for each patient and should be used only in appropriate situations. Conclusion : Similarly, there is a lack of evidence on the effects of long-term use to this equipment. Electrical stimulation is also thought to have potential in the treatment to subluxed low tone shoulders but additional research is required to clarify the parameters for use and the long-term effects of these forms of management.

The purpose of this study was to assess temporomandibular joint subluxation by means of cephalometry using two lateral cephalograms from each person with in centric occlusion and wide-open mouth position, and to compare patient group with subluxation to normal control group in the measurements and correlation coefficient. The 200 cephalograms of 100 Korean adults, patient group consisted of 24 females and 26 males ranged from 17 to 63 years age and the normal control group consisted of 20 females and 30 males ranged from 18 to 56 years age, were studied and analyzed statistically. The results were as follows; 1. In the comparison of patient group vs normal control group in the measurements, statistically significant differences were found in C-C', C'-PTM, K-FH, K-PTM, Gn-Gn', C-S-C', Gn-S-Gn', Gn-K-Gn', GoGn-SN, and GoGn-Go'Gn'. K-point* of patient group was located antero - superiorly than of normal control group, and the significance level was higher in K-PTM than in K-FH. There was no statistically significant difference found in local relationship of C-point between patient group and normal control group. The values of correlation coefficient among all measurements were in 0.958≥r≥-0.760, and the highest value was in Gn-Gn' to GoGn-Go'Gn' and Gn-K-Gn' to Gn-Gn', and the lowest value was in C'-PTM to Gn-K-Gn' of normal control group. K was determined as a point of intersection by a perpendicular bisector of Gn-Gn' and a perpendicular bisector of C-C'.

Trigger wrist, characterized by a clicking or snapping sensation around the wrist joint during finger or wrist motion, and bifid or trifid median nerve, which occurs in carpal tunnel syndrome along with anatomical variation of median nerve, are rare conditions. We report the case of a patient with a thickened tendon caused by severe tenosynovitis and flexor tendon subluxation to the hamate hook due to bowing of the flexor retinaculum, thereby resulting in trigger wrist as well as an anatomical median nerve variation (bifid median nerve in the right wrist and trifid median nerve in the left wrist). A 59-year-old housewife visited our hospital with bilateral fingertip numbness, tingling sensation, and aggravated severe night cramping that began 2 months ago. She also complained about trigger wrist during small finger flexion. Based on magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasonography, and nerve conduction study, trifid median nerve and bilateral severe median nerve neuropathy of the wrist were diagnosed; therefore, transverse carpal tunnel release and exploration under wide-awake anesthesia were planned. Intraoperative findings showed trifid and bifid median nerves in left and right wrists, respectively. Additionally, bowing of flexor retinaculum and severe flexor tendon tenosynovitis were observed. Tenosynovitis with thickened flexor sheath resulted in subluxation of the small finger flexor tendon above the hamate hook. After transverse carpal ligament release with antebrachial fascia release and tenosynovectomy, subluxation of the flexor tendon was resolved. At 6 months postoperatively, the tingling and dullness in fingertips also resolved, and no trigger wrist or any other complications were noted.

Knee is a middle joint in lower extremity and has relationship with hip joint and ankle joint alignment. Therefore the knee joint alignment is very important in aspect of biomechanically. Knee joint alignment depend upon patellar stability. Instability of the patellofemoral articulation, in the form of patellar subluxation or dislocation may be associated with a number of factors. Normal range of patellofemoral angle is very different by the reporter and by the gender also.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease involving multiple joints. The cervical spine is often affected, and cases involving atlantoaxial joint can lead to instability. Anterior atlantoaxial subluxation in RA patients can lead to posterior neck pain or occipital headache because of compression of the C2 ganglion or nerve. Here, we report the successful treatment of a RA patient with occipital radiating headache using pulsed radiofrequency therapy at the C2 dorsal root ganglion.

Purpose：The aim of this study was to determine the effect of active sling exercise on shoulder subluxation in hemiplegic patients. Methods：Twenty persons with shoulder subluxation were randomly divided into two groups; the experimental group(10 persons) and the control group(10 persons). Usual physical therapy and occupational therapy were applied in all groups in a day for 4 weeks. Additionally the experimental group was received 30 minutes sling active exercise (flexion, extention, adduction, abduction, intenal rotation, external rotation, horizontal adduction, horizontal abduction) for shoulder joint in a day for 4 weeks. I investigated the therapeutic effect of sling exercise through the Wolf motor function test (WMFT), Quantitative radiographic measurements and range of motion test at pre and post intervention period. Results：The passive range of motion was significantly increased in the experimental group compare with the control group. However, the active range of motion was no statistically significantly difference in both of the experimental and the control group. The level of WMFT was significantly decreased in the experimental group compared with control group. Although, there was no significantly difference the degree of the shoulder subluxation was more decreased in experimental group than control group. Conclusion：Taken together, these results suggest that sling exercise could be beneficial therapeutic method for hemiplegic shoulder. But to generalize it, more study and exercise program might be needed to confirm its availability.

Torticollis is an abnormal, asymmetric head or neck position which usually caused by imbalance of paracervical muscles. The traumatic torticollis can be caused by following events; atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation, atlantoaxial dislocation, cervical vertebral fractures, and injury to the cervical musculature. Especially, acute traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation usually presents limitation of cervical range of motion without pain or neurologic deficit. We report a case of a 58 year-old man who developed the acute atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation right after the chiropractic therapy, which induced the limitation of cervical range of motion to 52.5% of normal range. The magnetic resonance image revealed the facture of the odontoid process and the partial injury in transverse ligaments of the atlas. He underwent intramuscular botulinum toxin injection and 10 days of continuous cervical traction 15 hours a day using a 5 kg weight. The range of the cervical motion restored up to 90.2% of normal range.

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.

The Temporomandibural joint(TMJ) is one of the most frequently used joint in the body as $1,500{\sim}2,000$ times per day for the activities of chewing, swallowing, talking, yawing and sneezing. The TMJ are formed by condylar process of mandible and mandible fossa of temporal bone, separated by an articular disc. This articular disc divides into two cavities as upper cavity and lower cavity. The gliding movement occurs in the upper cavity of the joint, whereas hinge movement occurs in the lower cavity. The movements that are allowed at the TMJ are opening, closing, protrusion, retraction and lateral movement. A cause of TMJ dysfunction are capsulitis, internal derangement, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, infection and inflammation near the joint, trauma on joint, ankylosis, subluxation or dislocation of joint, injury of articular disc, myositis, muscle contracture or spasm, myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome, dyskinesia of masticatory muscles, developmental abnormality, tumor, connective tissue disease, fibrosis, malocclusion, swallowing abnormality, wrong habits such as bite nail or hair, bruxism, psycological stress and Costen syndrome etc. Assessment of TMJ dysfunction consist of interview, observation, functional examination, palpation, reflex test, joint play test, electromyography and radiologic examination and behavioral and psycological assessment etc.
