Ultrasonography is a powerful and useful method for the examination of the various shoulder diseases. The use of high-resolution transducer and technical evolution allowed the improvement of the accuracy of detection of various shoulder pathology including the rotator cuff disease. However, its limitation is that there is marked disparity in the interpretation according to the operators' experience. This article describes the appropriate scan technique of ultrasonography around shoulder.

However, its limitation is that there is marked disparity in the interpretation according to the operators' experience. This article describes the ultrasonographic findings of rotator cuff pathology compared to the MR (magnetic resonance) imaging and arthroscopic findings for helping the interpretation of ultrasonographic picture.

We verified reason of pain by rotator cuff disease using shoulder sonography and found a correlation between shoulder pain and stress. To find out the accuracy of sonographic prediction of rotator cuff disease among the patients with shoulder pain we surveyed 184 patients in S hospital in Seoul Korea between January to October 2012. These patients were previously diagnosed with the torn rotator cuff, adhesive capsulitis and impingement syndrom with shoulder pain. In most times, the rotator cuff disease was diagnosed among the physical workers who use shoulder excessively and also in the women in their 50~60 years of age(144 patients, 78.3%). There were significant correlation between rotator cuff disease and the stress of pain, between sonographic prediction and pain(p<.05). There were significance between shoulder pain and stress in daily life according to result for survey of BEPSI-K(p<.05).

Although the incidence of tuberculosis has been decreased due to new anti-tuberculous agents, improved socioeconomic status and development of multimodal preventive methods, in recent that is increased due to low vaccination rate and appearance of multidrug resistence organism. And the incidence of pyogenic shoulder joint arthritis is increasing due to frequent injection therapy as primary treatment. We have managed the mixed shoulder joint arthritis-pyogenic and tuberculous-with arthroscopic debridement and antituberculous medication successfully and then we report this case with relevant literatures.

최근 견관절 질환 치료의 발전에 힘입어 술 후의 유병율을 줄이고, 보다 견고한 조직 복원이 가능해 짐으로써 운동사슬(kinetic chain)의 생리적이고 생 역학적인 복원을 위한 재활치료를 조기에 시행할 수 있게 되었다. 이러한 조기재활 치료는 술 전 적절한 준비, 해부학적인 수술적 치료, 술 중 적절한 운동범위의 회복, 술 후 조기 보조 및 능동 보조운동, closed chain-axial loading rehabilitation protocol, 재활치료 중 기능적 관절위치 유지 및 기능회복에 따른 생리적 호전 등의 원칙을 통해 견관절의 여러 질환의 재활치료에 적용할 수 있다. 견관절의 조기 재활치료 시 통증은 근육의 조화운동을 저해하게 되며 관절의 안정적인 운동과 기능을 방해하게 된다. 따라서 시각 측정표를 이용한 4이하의 통증범위에서, 관절의 위치와 팔 및 몸의 운동 그리고 근육의 작용을 잘 관찰하는 가운데 운동을 함으로써 통증으로 인한 근억제 효과를 줄이며, 보다 조기에 안전하게 일상생활 및 운동복귀를 할 수 있다.

Ultrasonography of shoulder joint recently enlarges its utility since the knowledge of the shoulder disease is increased by numerous researches. Ultrasonography is not only noninvasive, safe, and relatively cheap, but also an unique modality that can monitor tendon movement during shoulder motion. Sonographic examination generally starts from the front side of the shoulder joint and finishes at back side in sitting position. Many structures in shoulder joint such as muscles, ligaments, glenoid labrum, bone, and especially rotator cuff tendon can be examined by ultrasonography. The rotator cuff is a motion unit consisted with subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor muscles. It functions as fulcrum and compresses the humeral head onto the glenoid, and steers for shoulder joint.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the motion of the shoulder joint dynamically through a depth sensor-based motion analysis system for the normal group and patients group with shoulder disease and to report the results along with a review of the relevant literature. Materials and Methods: Seventy subjects participated in the study and were categorized as follows: 30 subjects in the normal group and 40 subjects in the group of patients with shoulder disease. The patients with shoulder disease were subdivided into the following four disease groups: adhesive capsulitis, impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tear, and cuff tear arthropathy. Repeating abduction and adduction three times, the angle over time was measured using a depth sensor-based motion analysis system. The maximum abduction angle (θ_max), the maximum abduction angular velocity (ω_max), the maximum adduction angular velocity (ω_min), and the abduction/adduction time ratio (t_abd/t_add) were calculated. The above parameters in the 30 subjects in the normal group and 40 subjects in the patients group were compared. In addition, the 30 subjects in the normal group and each subgroup (10 patients each) according to the four disease groups, giving a total of five groups, were compared. Results: Compared to the normal group, the maximum abduction angle (θ_max), the maximum abduction angular velocity (ω_max), and the maximum adduction angular velocity (ω_min) were lower, and abduction/adduction time ratio (t_abd/t_add) was higher in the patients with shoulder disease. A comparison of the subdivided disease groups revealed a lower maximum abduction angle (θ_max) and the maximum abduction angular velocity (ω_max) in the adhesive capsulitis and cuff tear arthropathy groups than the normal group. In addition, the abduction/adduction time ratio (t_abd/t_add) was higher in the adhesive capsulitis group, rotator cuff tear group, and cuff tear arthropathy group than in the normal group. Conclusion: Through an evaluation of the shoulder joint using the depth sensor-based motion analysis system, it was possible to measure the range of motion, and the dynamic motion parameter, such as angular velocity. These results show that accurate evaluations of the function of the shoulder joint and an in-depth understanding of shoulder diseases are possible.

최근 견관절 질환의 상당수가 관절경 수술로 이루어지고 있다. 좌체위(beath chair position)를 이용한 관절경 수술은 시술 중 관헐적 방법으로의 전환이 용이하고 공간에 대한 orientation을 쉽게 잡을 수 있어 선호되고 있다. 또한 관절경 수술 시 시야 확보를 위해 epinephrine을 혼합한 세척액이 통상적으로 사용되고 있다. 관절경 수술 시 심부 정맥 혈전증(deep vein thrombosis), 가스 색전증, 세척액에 사용하는 epinephrine에 의한 심실성 빈맥 등과 같은 치명적인 부작용이 가끔 보고되어 있다. 관절경하 견관절 수술 도중 심실 빈맥의 발생은 매우 드문 경우이며 이에 대한 보고도 거의 없는 상태이다. 저자들은 2주의 기간 동안 좌체위로 관절경하 견관절 수술을 하는 도중 갑작스럽게 발생한 심실 빈맥 2예를 경험하였기에 원인 및 치료 과정을 보고하고자 한다. 좌체위로 인한 뇌혈류 저하, 가스 색전증 등의 증세는 없었다. 관절경술 도중 세척액에 투입된 소량의 epinephrine이 동시에 체내로 급속히 유입되어 심실 빈맥이 왔으리라 추정하고 있으며, 실험을 통해 이를 증명하고자 하였다.
