Purpose: The neural injuries by the sprain around the ankle joint may contribute the chronic pain. Authors analyzed the incidence and the contributing factor of the neural injuries in ankle sprain. Materials and Methods: 52 patients (54 cases) were involved in this retrospective study. Patient with diabetes or spinal disease were excluded. Plain radiograph and MR image were evaluated. Treatments were consisted of cast immobilization for 4 weeks with weight bearing ambulation following bracing for 8 weeks. Neurologic evaluation were performed at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months post-injury period and each neural injury were confirmed by electromyography or lidocaine block test. Results: The average age was 39 years old and 34 cases were male and 20 cases were female. Rupture of the anterior talofibular ligament was observed in 48 cases, distal anterior tibiofibular ligament in 37 cases, calcaneofibular ligament in 6 cases. One cases revealed no injury of the ligament. Neural injuries around ankle was observed in 13 cases ; superficial peroneal nerve in 9 cases, sural nerve in 5 cases, saphanous nerve in 1 case. Neural injury was not influenced by the degree of ligament injuries but by the incidence numbers of ankle sprain. All cases were treated conservatively and symptom was subsided in all but 2 cases. Conclusion : Although the incidence is relatively low, the neural injuries in ankle sprain may occur in the recurrent ankle sprain and conservative treatment for neural injuries is satisfactory.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment on postoperative state patients with cervical spinal cord injury due to ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. Methods: A 55-year-old Korean male patient diagnosed with cervical spinal cord injury due to ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament was treated in an inpatient setting with Korean medicine treatment consisting of herbal medicine, acupuncture, and others from May 22 to August 21. The outcome was evaluated with the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale (AIS), Spinal Cord Independence Measure-III (SCIM-III), modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association scale (mJOA), Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after, or during the treatment period. Results: After 92 days of treatment, the patient's scores on all scales improved. Conclusion: The results suggest that Korean medicine treatment may be effective for postoperative patients with cervical spinal cord injury due to ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. Further studies should be conducted on a larger number of patients.

목적: 급성 전방십자인대 손상 환자의 자기공명영상(magnetic resonance imaging, MRI)에서 나타난 골멍의 형태 및 크기와 전방십자인대의 손상 정도와의 관계를 알아보고 골멍의 발자취(footprint)를 조사해 손상기전을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 급성 전방십자인대 손상 6주 이내의 급성기에 자기공명영상을 촬영하여 골멍이 나타나는 65명을 대상으로 하였다. 골멍의 형태는 Costa-Paz 분류에 따라, 골멍의 크기는 Kornaat의 방식으로 측정하였다. 자기공명영상의 전방십자인대 관상사면영상(anterior cruciate ligament [ACL] oblique coronal view)에서 손상 정도를 등급화 하였다. 결과: Costa-Paz 분류에 따른 대퇴골 외과의 골멍 형태와 전방십자인대 손상 정도의 관계를 알아본 결과, 부분 파열군(1, 2 등급)에서 제2형이 많고, 완전 파열군(3 등급)에서 제3형이 많았다(P=0.037). Kornaat 총 골멍 점수는 전방십자인대 손상 등급에 따라 차이를 보였으며(P=0.014), 손상기전은 축회전 손상(pivot shift injury)이 가장 많았고 편타 외반 손상 (clip valgus injury) 등이 뒤를 이었다. 결론: 급성 전방십자인대 손상 시 골멍의 형태와 크기는 전방십자인대의 손상 정도와 관련이 있었고, 골멍의 발자취를 통해 손상기전을 유추할 수 있어 급성 전방십자인대 손상의 진단 및 치료에 도움이 되리라 사료된다.

목적 : 후방 십자 인대 손상의 치료에 있어서 synthetic polyester ligament를 이용한 관절경적 보강술을 시행한 후 임상 결과 및 방사선학적 변화를 관찰하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 1990년 1월부터 1996년 1월까지 synthetic polyester ligament(ABC ligament, Surgicraft, U.K )를 이용하여 관절경적 후방 십자 인대 보강술을 시행한 환자 중에서 5년 이상 추시가 가능한 60예를 대상으로 후방 부하 방사선 촬영 및 KT-2000관절계측기를 이용하여 후방 안정성에 대해 평가를 하였고, Lysholm knee Score를 이용하여 임상적으로 평가하였다. 결과 : 후방 부하 방사선 촬영상 후방 전위의 정도는 건측에 비해 술 전 평균 13.2 mm에서 술 후 평균 3.6 mm로 개선되었고, KT-2000 관절계측기를 이용한 검사상 후방 전위는 건측 평균 3.2 mm, 환측 평 균 3.9 mm이었고, Lysholm knee score는 술 전 평균 49.2점에서 술 후 평균 84.3점으로 평균 33점 증가하였다. 결론 : synthetic polyester ligament를 이용하여 손상된 후방 십자 인대를 관절경적 보강술로 치료하고 장기 추시 관찰하여 자가 이식건을 이용한 경우의 임상적 결과와 비슷한 양상을 보였고, 이 같은 결과로 미루어 보아 후방 십자 인대 손상의 치료에 있어 인조 인대 보강술은 하나의 치료법으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of landing tasks on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk factors in female basketball players. Fifteen female basketball players performed a drop landing and a drop landing with a vertical jump on the 40 cm height box. Three-dimensional motion analysis system and ground reaction force system was used for calculate the ACL injury risk factors. Paired samples t-test with Bonfferoni correction were performed. The drop landing with a vertical jump had the higher knee flexion angle, peak knee varus moment, trunk flexion angle than a drop landing. However, the drop landing had the higher trunk rotation angle than a drop landing with a vertical jump. These results indicate that seemingly minor variations between drop landing and drop landing with a vertical jump may influence the ACL injury risk factors. Caution should be used when comparing studies using different landing tasks.

Distal clavicle tunnel widening was observed in coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction with semitendinous tendon autografts in a patient with acromioclavicular joint injury. Acromioclavicular joint separation, in a 44 years-old man was treated by coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction. We have performed x-ray evaluation on 2years 10months after surgery. The immediate postoperative tunnel size was measured 4.5mm in diameter. At postoperative 2years 10month the tunnel diameter was from 9.3 to 11.4mm. But the weightbearing clavicle view showed no significant acromioclavicular joint separation. Moreover the patient complained only minor intermittent shoulder discomfort.

Evidence-based papers on the treatment of some chronic tendinopathy or ligament lesions using an injection in foot and ankle disorders have been reported, but there are few reports on the treatment of acute ankle ligament injury. On the other hand, some papers have reported a faster return to play for injection therapy that combines RICE (Rest, Icing, Compression, and Elevation) treatment and rehabilitation. Injection therapy can be used as an additional treatment for ankle ligament injury. Rather than having narrow-minded thinking about these treatments, it is important to make efforts to verify the safety and precautions of treatment and recognize them as a category of normal treatment. Continuous analysis and monitoring of these treatments can satisfy patients whose needs are changing rapidly.

The anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) is an important stabilizer of knee joint. The ACL injury of knee is common and a serious ACL injury leads to ligament reconstruction surgery. Gait analysis is essential to identify knee condition of patients who display abnormal gait. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and classify knee condition of ACL deficient patients using a nonlinear dynamic method. The nonlinear method focuses on understanding how variations in the gait pattern change over time. The experiments were carried out for 17 subjects(l2 healthy subjects and five subjects with unilateral deficiency) walking on a motorized treadmill for 100 seconds. Three dimensional kinematics of the lower extremity were collected by using four cameras and KWON 3D motion analysis system. The largest Lyapunov exponent calculated from knee joint flexion-extension time series was used to quantify knee stability. The results revealed the difference between healthy subjects and patients. The deficient knee was significantly unstable compared with the contralateral knee. This study suggests an evaluation scheme of the severity of injury and the level of recovery. The proposed Lyapunov exponent can be used in rehabilitation and diagnosis of recoverable patients.

Anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) injury of the knee is common and a serious ACL injury leads to ligament reconstruction surgery. Gait analysis is used to identify the result of surgery. The purpose of this study is to numerically evaluate and classify knee condition of patients through the chaos analysis. Experiments were carried out for 13 subjects (8 healthy subjects, 5 ACL deficient patients) walking on a treadmill. Sagittal kinematic data of the right lower extremity were collected by using a 3D motion analysis system. The recorded gait patterns were digitized and then coordinated by KWON3D. The largest Lyapunov exponent from the measured knee angular displacement time series was calculated to quantify local stability. It was found that the Lyapunov exponent becomes larger as the knee condition becomes worse. This study suggested a method of the severity of injury and the level of recovery. The proposed method discerns difference between healthy subjects and patients.
