  • Purpose : The aim of this study is the assessment of the clinical outcomes after percutanous pinning of unstable two-parts fracture of surgical neck in humerus. Materials and Methods: This study was based on thirteen cases of non-comminuted unstable surgical neck fracture of humerus among 19 cases, which followed-up more than one year. Follow-up averaged 29 months. We treated with percutaneous pinning techniques and assessed clinical outcomes. Functional evaluation was performed using the standard method of research committee of American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons(ASES). Results: Last follow-up ROM of shoulder joint were 142 degrees of forward elevation, 57 degrees of external rotation, 72 degrees of external rotation in 90 degrees abduction, and T8 of internal rotation. Pain scale was l(range : 0∼3). ASES scores was 86.2(range : 63.3~98.3). Patient satisfaction based on ASES were excellent in 6 cases, good in 5 cases, fair in 1 case, poor in 1 case. A case of fair result was caused by limitation of motion in shoulder joint and poor case was paraplegia patient after traffic accident. Conclusion : Percutaneous pinning is recommended for non-comminuted unstable fracture of surgical neck in humerus.

Relationship between Muscle Activity and Kinematic Variables of the Upper Extremity during a Push-up Task on Stable and Unstable Surfaces (안정된 지지면과 불안정한 지지면에서 팔굽혀 펴기 시 상지 근활성도와 운동학적 변수간의 상관분석)

  • Purpose: We investigated the relationship between the muscle activity and kinematic variables of the upper extremity during a push-up task on stable and unstable surfaces. Methods: We recruited 15 healthy subjects. Subjects completed the push-up task on stable and unstable surfaces. Surface electromyograms were recorded from the serratus anterior, upper trapezius, latissimus dorsi, infraspinatus to monitor changes in muscle activity. Markers for kinematic changes of elbow flexion, shoulder extension, shoulder retraction and scapular adduction were attached at C7, the T7 spinous process, both acromions, the scapula superior and inferior angle, the humerus lateral epicondyle, and the ulnar styloid process. Correlation coefficients between muscle activity and kinematic variables were analyzed by SPSS for Windows, version 15.0. Results: On the unstable surface, elbow flexion and shoulder extension increased with increasing muscle activity of serratus anterior, upper trapezius and infraspinatus. On the stable surface, shoulder retraction decreased with increasing muscle activity of serratus anterior and infraspinatus. Scapular adduction decreased with all types of increasing muscle activity, regardless of the support surface. Conclusion: Correlations between muscle activity and kinematic variables were observed on stable and unstable surfaces during a push-up task, while correlations between right and left variables were not clear. These finding suggest that it may be used to develop a rehabilitation program which could be effective in improving shoulder function in patients with shoulder problems.

  • Purpose: There are so many different methods with the their own advantages and disadvantages for acute AC dislocation and distal unstable clavicle fracture. We evaluated the usefulness of temporary Bosworth's coracoclavicular fixations using the cannulated screw and reviewed our clinical results. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 34 cases of temporary coracoclavicular fixations with cannulated screw and washer for acute AC dislocation(25cases in the Type V, Ⅲ) and distal unstable clavicle fracture(9cases in the Type ⅡB, Ⅱ+Ⅲ). All cases were fixed by the same techniques, guided cannulated screw under C-arm after the repair of the CC ligament within 1 week. Bases on the regular check, screws were removed at the 6-12 weeks under local anesthesia. The final clinical and radiological results(average 14 months follow-up) were rated with the UCLA scale. Results : All shoulders were gained nearly full ROM passively at the 3-4 weeks. The overall satisfactory resuIts(excellent or good) were achieved 88%(22/25) in the acute AC dislocation and all in the distal unstable clavicle fracture. There were no definite complications except three initial fixations loosening. Conclusion: Temporary Bosworth's coracoclavicular fixation using the cannulated screw with guided pin was simple precedure and provided enough initial stability for acute AC dislocation and distal unstable clavicle fracture.
