The superior shoulder suspensory complex is composed of glenoid fossa, coracoid process, coracoclavicular ligament, distal clavicle, acromioclavicular ligament, acromion. Traumatic double disruptions of this complex lose its suspensory action on the shoulder joint and result in functional loss and deformity. Careful radiologic evaluation and appropriate management are required for injuries to this complex. Ipsilateral fractures of clavicle and scapula create unstable anatomic situation on shoulder joint. Conservative treatment usually fails to achieve good functional recovery due to rotator cuff weakness, nonunion, delayed union, malunion and neurovascular injury. Authors studied the result of operative treatment of ipsilateral clavicle and scapular fractures to prevent such complications. Seven cases were treated with open reduction and internal fixations of clavicle alone or clavicle and scapula simultaneously and followed up for nineteen months(twelve months - thirty-eight months). All but one patient showed good or excellent functional result according to the scoring system of Rowe. Poor result was developed in the case which had brain injury. Rigid fixations of clavicle alone or clavicle and scapular fractures both can achieve stable reduction of the fractures and prevent sequelae. We concluded that operative treatment of ipsilateral fractures of clavicle and scapula is safe and yields predictable good results.

The system for measuring the electrodermal activity (EDA) signal occurring at the sweet glands in the human body was implemented in this study. The EDA measurement system (EDAMS) consisted of an algometer and the bio-potential measurement system (BPMS). Three experiments were performed using EDAMS. First, the linearity of the output voltage corresponding to the pressure being applied to an algometer was evaluated. The linearity of output voltage according to the pressure was 0.956. Second, the amplitude and the latency of the EDA signal at the left palm was obtained while applying the pressure stimuli to the left and right scapula. The latency of EDA signal was shorter whereas the amplitude of EDA signal was higher when the pressure applied was applied to the left scapula. Third, the amplitude and latency of the EDA was measured at left and right palm while increasing the pressure stimuli to the left scapula. The latency of EDA signal at left and right palm was decreased according to the intensity of pressure stimulus applied to the left scapula. However, the latency of the EDA signals did not show the linearity with respect to the pressure stimuli.

Elastofibroma dorsi is a benign soft tissue mass, not well-known because of its low incidence, and usually located between the chest wall and the inferomedial aspect of the scapula. This lesion is not true neoplasm but rather reactive hyperplasia of elastic fibers. It is mostly nontender mass, but occasionally causes snapping symptom. This tumor should be considered as a differential diagnosis of snapping scapula. The clinical diagnosis is made by magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by pathologic findings. We present a case report of a female with elastofibroma dorsi, who had that the chief complaint was snapping scapula and palpable mass. We emphasize that snapping lesions located deep beneath the inferior tip of the scapula on the chest wall should arouse suspicion of an elastofibroma dorsi.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of scapula and pelvis symmetrical reciprocal pattern exercise of PNF concept on respiratory function and quality of life in elderly subjects. Methods : Nineteen elderly subjects with healthy were recruited. Subjects performed scapula and pelvis symmetrical reciprocal pattern exercise of PNF concept. Exercise was appied 30 minutes three times per week for four weeks. The respiratory function and quality of life (QOL) test three times (before, two weeks, and four weeks). Respiratory function includes forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV₁), Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF) and chest cage expansion test (CCET). The QOL test was measured Korean WHOQOL-BRIEF. The analysis method was analyzed through the one-way ANOVA repeated methods, and the statistical significance is α=.05. It was analyzed through the post test Bonferroni test. Results : After the 4 week scapula and pelvis symmetrical reciprocal pattern exercise of PNF concept showed statistically significant differences in the respiratory function (FVC, FEV₁, PEF, and CCET), and QOL (p<.05). As a result of the post-hoc test, FVC showed a significant increase in the mid test and post test compared to the pre test (p<.05), FEV₁ showed a significant increase in the post test compared to the pre test (p<.05). PEF showed a significant increase in all pre-test, mid-test, and post-test sections (p<.05), CCET showed a significant increase in all pre-test, mid-test, and post-test sections (p<.05). QOL showed a significant increase in all pre-test, mid-test, and post-test sections (p<.05). Conclusion : In this study, the scapula and pelvis symmetrical reciprocal pattern exercise of PNF concept improved respiratory function and QOL. The findings suggest that this intervention could be beneficial in improving respiratory function and QOL in the elderly.

This study was undertaken to establish the sequence of development of ages and its time of the fetal endochondral ossification in the scapula of the Korean native cattle. This study was also designed to confirm through histological observation the earliest stages of both chondrification and ossification. Thirty eight scapulae, a series of embryos and fetuses from the pregnant Korean native cattle ranging from 11 to 110mm in crown-rump (C-R) length, were used. The following results were obtained. The ossification center was observed in the supra- and infra- spinous fossa in the 5th group (CRL 51-60mm), that was markedly ossified in the 6th group (CRL 61~70mm) by Alizarin red S stain. The chondrogenic center of scapula was observed in the 1st group (CRL 11~20mm). The primary ossification center was presented in the 4th group (CRL 41~50mm). In the 5th group(CRL 51~60mm), the endochondral ossification progressed actively. Alcianophility was markedly increased in the interterritorial matrix in the 3rd group (CRL 31~40mm. However this reaction was markedly decreased in the interterritorial matrix the adjacent portion to the marrow cavity and trabecula in the 5th group (CRL 51~60mm).

Background: This study was to investigate the relationship between scapular downward rotation ratio (SDRR), lower trapezius (LT) muscle, and rounded shoulder angle (RSA) on each side in subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome (SDRS). Design: Cross-sectional Study Methods: Fifteen subjects have participated in this study. The RSA and SDRR were assessed using a tape measure in standing posture. The RSA was computed by the angle made by two lines: one was the distance between the root of the scapula and the acromion, and the other was the distance between the acromion and the horizontal line in the root of the scapula. The SDRR was computed by two horizontal lines: one was the distance between the mid-line and root of the scapula, and the other was the distance between the mid-line and inferior angle of the scapula. LT muscle strength was performed in a prone position by the hand-held dynamometer. Results: There was a positive correlation between SDRR and LT strength in the less affected sides (r=.59; p=.02), however, there was no correlation between RSA and LT strength in the more affected sides (p>.05).
