We report a patient with an anterior dislocation of the shoulder with uncommon bucket handle type fracture of the anterior glenoid fossa with intact glenoid labrum. The fracture fragment was displaced into the posterior aspect of the glenohumeral joint resulting in prevention of reduction of the shoulder. Excellent fixation was obtained with suture anchors and bioabsorbable interfragmentary screws. This allowed stable range of motion exercises, optimizing the patient's functional outcome.

The posterior and multidirectional instability of the shoulder is a complex problem in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Increased joint volume by redundant capsular ligament has been regarded as a major pathogenesis of the posterior and multidirectional instability. Distinct from multidirectional hyperlaxity, multidirectional instability has symptoms related with increased translations in more than one direction. Recent report that shoulder symptom originates from labral lesion which was created by excessive rim-loading of the humeral head on the posteroinferior glenoid labrum during repetitive subluxation helps us to understand the pathogenesis of such instability. Painful jerk and Kim tests indicate labral lesion in the multidirectionally loose shoulder, suggesting multidirectional instability. Also, painful jerk test is a prognostic sign of failure of nonoperative treatment. The labral lesion can be an incomplete tear or a concealed lesion which often has been underestimated. Operative treatment is indicated when nonoperative treatment has failed. Arthroscopic capsulolabroplasty is a reliable procedure, which not only provides capsular balance, but also restores the labral height.

A harpacticoid copepod, Sinamphiascus dominatus Mu & Gee, 2000 is re-described from the sandy bottom in off Jeju Island of Korea. The genus Sinamphiascus was established with single species, S. dominatus from the Bohai Sea, China. The main diagnostic characters of the specimen from Korea are well matched with the original description, although it has minor discrepancies including the lengths and ornamentation of setae in leg 6 of both sexes, shape of the base on furcal setae and teeth number of labrum in female. However those discrepancies are regarded to the intra-specific variations. This is the first record of genus Sinamphiascus in Korean waters.

The purpose is paper was to discuss current concepts related to anatomic stabilizing structures of the shoulder joint complex and their clinical relevance to shoulder instability. The clinical syndrome of shoulder instability represents a wide spectrum of symtoms and signs which may produce various levels of dysfunctions, from subtle subluxations to gross joint instability. The glenohumeral joint attains functional stability through a delicate and intricate interaction between the passive and active stabilizing structures. The passive constraints include the bony geometry, glenoid labrum, and the glenohumeral joint capsuloligaments structure. Conversely, the active constraints, also referred to as active mechanism, include the shoulder complex musculature, the projprioceptive system, and the musculoligamentous relationship. The interaction of the active and passive mechanism which provide passive and active glenohumeral joint stability will be throughtly discussed in this paper

In general, the long head of the biceps brachii originates from the superior glenoid labrum and the supraglenoid tubercle, crosses the rotator cuff interval, and extends into the bicipital groove. However, rare anatomic variations of the origins of the long head have been reported in the past. In this report, we review the clinical history, radiologic findings, and arthroscopic identifications of 3 anatomic variants of the biceps tendon long head. As the detection of long head of biceps tendon pathology during preoperative radiologic assessment can be difficult without prior knowledge, surgeons should be aware of such possible anatomic variations.

Purpose: Our goal of this study was to compare the mechanism of injury and the clinical outcomes between the non-traumatic and traumatic type II SLAP lesions. Materials and Methods: From January 2007 to May 2009, the sunjects of this study were 27 patients who had undergone operations for isolated type II SLAP lesions. The lesions were classified according to Burkhart's method. The lesions that were located on the anterior-superior labrum were classified as type I, those lesions located on the posterior-superior labrum were classified as type II and those lesions located on the anterior-posterior labrum were classified as type III. The clinical outcomes were evaluated by the UCLA score and the KSS score preoperatively and postoperatively. Results: Of the 27 cases, 16 cases were traumatic and eleven cases were non-traumatic. In the traumatic group, there were 12, 2 and 2 cases of type I, type II and type III, respectively (p=0.013). In non-traumatic group, there were 2, 6 and 3 cases of type I, type II and type III (p=0.026). Anterior lesions were more frequent in the traumatic group and posterior lesions were more frequent in the non-traumatic group. For the clinical outcomes, the mean preoperative UCLA score and KSS score were 18 (range: 14~23) and 48 (range: 32~76), respectively, and the postoperative UCLA score and KSS score were 32 (range: 28~33) and 86 (range: 71~92), respectively, in the traumatic group, and the preoperative UCLA score and KSS score were 21 (18~25) and 58 (41~68), respectively, and the postoperative UCLA score and KSS score were 29 (26~31) and 81 (68~89), respectively in the non-traumatic group. There was no significant statistical difference of clinical outcomes between the two groups (p=0.317, 0.405). Conclusion: In this study, the anatomical feature of type II SLAP lesion was associated with a trauma mechanism. Therefore, a trauma mechanism must be considered when planning the surgical treatment for type II SLAP lesions.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of oblique coronal MR images, oblique axial images of neutral, internal rotation and external rotation positions in the diagnosis of SLAP Ⅱ lesion. Materials and Methods: MR arthrography of the glenohumeral joint was evaluated retrospectively in 16 patients(16 shoulders) who underwent arthroscopic surgery(mean age; 38 years old, Male; 13, Female; 3). Oblique coronal fat-suppressed Tl-weighted spin echo images were performed with each shoulder in the neutral position of the arm and oblique axial images were performed in neutral, internal and external rotations of the arm respectively. The preoperative findings of MR were classified as definite tear, possible tear and no tear. Arthroscopic findings were correlated with MR findings of several different position of the arm. Results: Arthroscopic surgery revealed 8 SLAP Ⅱ lesion, 2 SLAP I lesion, and 6 normal superior labrum respectively. The accuracy of diagnosis in the 8 SLAP Ⅱ lesion were high on oblique axial image in external rotation which were interpreted as 8 definite tear, to compare with oblique axial images in neutral position which were interpreted as 4 definite tear, 3 possible tear, 1 no tear. The 6 normal superior labrum lesion were interpreted as no tear in all three position. The 2 SLAP I lesion were interpreted as 1 definite tear, 1 no tear on oblique axial image in neutral position and 1 definite tear, 1 possible tear on oblique axial image in external rotation. Conclusion: This study showed that axial MR images in external rotation of the arm combined with oblique coronal images have proved to be effective to detect SLAP Ⅱ lesion, and should be considered in imaging protocol for MR arthrography of the SLAP Ⅱ lesion.

The Buford complex is unusual variant of the glenohumeral joint. This complex is distinguished by a cord-like middle glenohumeral ligament that oriented directly form the superior labrum at the base of the biceps tendon and crosses the subscapularis tendon to insert on the humerus. There is no anterior-superior labral tissue present between this attachment and the mid-glenoid notch. This anatomical variation may lead the surgeon to confuse this complex with a sublabral hole, pathologic labral detachment, Bankart lesion or SLAP lesion. We report a case of Buford complex which was found incidentally during the operation of impingement syndrome with stiffness and treated with subacromial decompression only.

The Brentidae is characterized by the reduced labial palpi, which is located in cavities on the apicoental margin of the prementum. The postcoila of two subfamilies of this family is deep and bowl-like on ental surface of the hypostomal arms. The mouthparts treated in here comprise the labrum, clypeus, mandibles, maxillae, labium, hypostoma and the septum of the preoral cavity. The terms are followed principally after Ting and Morimoto. The detail terminology fur the mandibles are newly given. [Insecta, Coleoptera, Comparative morphology, Mouthparts, Brentidae].

Superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP) lesions of the shoulder has recently been a popular issue to shoulder surgeons. Now we are correlating many shoulder symptoms to this SLAP lesion. A 45 year-old female patient injured her shoulder when her arm sleeve was entrapped in moving automobile door. A forceful pull of the arm in external and abduction position was suspected. She complained continuous shoulder pain with limited range of motion for 2 months. Magnetic resonance image showed possible SLAP lesion but no definite diagnosis were made prior to the operation. Arthroscopic evaluation revealed SLAP type Ⅱ lesion with concomitant avulsion of the superior glenoid cartilage. In addition anterior labrocapsular tear was seen from 7 to 9 o'clock of anterior glenoid. The SLAP lesion and the anterior capsulolabral lesion were repaired properly to the glenoid. We report a case of glenoid-cartilage avulsion type of SLAP Ⅱwith anterior labrocapsular lesion.
