Purpose: This study examined the outcomes of closed reduction and fixation of the coracoid process fracture using a suture anchor in a patient with combined acromioclavicular dislocation for which the coraco-clavicular ligament was intact. Materials and Methods: A 26 year-old male patient with a coracoid process fracture that was associated with a type III acromioclavicular joint dislocation was operated on with anchor suture fixation. This is the first trial of this operative procedure. Results: At the postoperative follow-up at 3 months, complete union of the coracoid process fracture was seen. The shoulder had a full range of motion and the shoulder function was normal. Conclusion: Closed reduction and fixation using one suture anchor for treating coracoid process fracture is a safe, effective procedure.

An indirect reduction through the bicipital groove and allogenic iliac tricortical bone graft was performed as a treatment for a large Hill-Sachs lesion with a rotator cuff tear in an acute traumatic shoulder joint dislocation in an elderly patient. Six months after surgery, the rotator cuff healing and bone union were confirmed. The patient also showed satisfactory clinical results with 95 points of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) shoulder score and active range of motion with 155° flexion, 120° abduction, and 70° external rotation and 30° internal rotation at 90° abduction. The surgical method can be considered for a large Hill-Sachs lesion with rotator cuff tear in an acute traumatic shoulder joint dislocation in elderly patients.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of dysphagia intervention function and life quality of stroke patients. each 5 patients were randomly assigned in two groups, control group performing indirect feeding and experimental group performing direct feeding. Evaluation of the swallowing function was performed before intervention, after 4weeks and 8 weeks using CDS, PAS with VFSS and quality of life was performed twice, before and after intervention. Two groups showed the improved swallowing function, control group showed the significant difference only in CDS(p<.05). but experimental group showed the significant differenc in CDS and PAS(p<.01). both groups showed the significant improvement in quality of life(p<.05). but in comparison between group, no significant statistical difference were found(p>.05). Therefore, this study showed that both the swallowing function and quality of life were improved as time passed, but swallowing function was much more improved in experimental group.

Background: To suggest the need of more aggressive reduction techniques than closed reduction (CR) technique in nasal fracture treatment, we identified the usefulness of algorithm oriented treatment of nasal fracture that includes indirect open reduction (IOR) and external fixation (EF) as well as the CR. Methods: We compared the clinical course of the group A (n=128) where only the CR was performed regardless of the pattern of the nasal fracture and the group B (n=127) where algorithm oriented treatment including IOR and EF as well as CR was performed depending on the pattern of nasal fracture. And the degree of postoperative pain after CR and IOR technique was compared through the dose of analgesics and pain scores. Results: More than 80% of patients were satisfied the result of reduction in both group A and B. Good contour of nasal bone after reduction was showed 71% of group A and 81% of group B without significant difference. Minor (p>0.05) and major (p<0.05) deformity after reduction were less occurred in the group B than group A. Postoperatively, the dose of analgesics was significantly lower after IOR technique than CR technique (53 mg vs. 142 mg) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Algorithm oriented treatment of nasal fracture including IOR and EF as well as CR reduce major deformity after reduction than treatment of CR alone. It is useful to perform the more aggressive reduction techniques such as IOR and EF according to the pattern of fracture in treatment of nasal fracture.
