재발성 견관절 탈구 환자에서 치료 방법을 결정하고 좋은 결과를 얻기 위해서는 적절한 환자의 선택이 가장 중요한 요건중의 하나로 생각된다. 또한 무엇보다 중요한 것은 환자가 어떤 결과를 원하는 지 여부이다. 예를 들어 프로 야구 투수의 경우 수술 후 안정적인 견관절을 가졌으나, 투수로서 다시 복귀하지 못한다면 이는 불만족스러운 결과로 보아야 한다. 그러므로 환자에 대한 평가는 무엇보다 환자 개개인에 대해 다르게 시행되어야 하며, 어떤 술식이 필요한지, 수술 후 어떻게 재활치료에 적응할 지 등에 대하여 술전에 충분히 상의한 후 결정하는 것이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

A growing number of people are enjoying sports activity with a rise in national income. In this current, many patients complain of traumatic shoulder dislocation and chronic instability with bony Bankart lesion. Computed tomography arthrography is good diagnostic modality for bony Bankart lesion. It is important to consider the patients' factors such as occupation, sports activity, size of preoperative glenoid bone loss before decision of treatment. As development of arthroscopic treatment, there is no significant difference in the result of bony Bankart repair between arthroscopic surgery and open surgery. However, open surgery should be considered for patients with preoperative glenoid bone loss more than 25% or in need of collision sports activity.

Purpose: This study is to analyze the prevalence of various intra-articular lesions in patients with traumatic recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder over 40 years and suggest clinical implications for treatment. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively studied 16 cases that underwent surgical treatment for recurrent anterior dislocation of shoulder from January 2001 to May 2009. There were 9 males and 7 females, and the mean age was 52.7years. We carried out arthroscopic exam for all patients based on standard protocol, which included labrum, capular lesion, cuff, bony lesions. Results: All 16 cases showed Hill-Sachs lesion, 3 patients (19%) had bony Bankart lesion, 6 patients (38%) had labral tear. Capsular tear were found 15 patients (94%). Twelve (75%) had ruptured supraspinatus and 5 (31%) had subscapularis tear. Only one (6%) had SLAP lesion. Conclusion: There was relatively higher incidence of capsular and rotator cuff tears in patients over age 40 years. Preoperative planning to address these lesions is highly recommended.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound guided injection of prolotherapy and steroid mixture injection in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Materials and Methods: 53 patients with adhesive capsulitis were included in the study and in all the patients a mixture of steroid and prolotherapy agent was injected into the coracohumeral ligament under the sonographic guidance. The patients were evaluated using the VAS and ROM of the shoulder before the injection and at 8 weeks and at 1 year after the injection. Results: Forward flexion was 93.4 degrees before the injection and was 142, 153 degrees at 8weeks and 1 year after injection. Abduction was 79.2 degrees before the injection and was 125.4, 152.6 degrees at 8 weeks and 1 year after the injection. The VAS score was 6.7 before the injection and was 3.5, 3.7 at 8 weeks and 1 year after the injection. Conclusion: The ultrasound guided injection of prolotherapy and steroid mixture into the coracohumeral ligament in patients with adhesive capsulitis is allowing both tissue distension and inflammatory process controlling procedure. It is effective in improving the range of shoulder motion significantly and is also effective in decreasing the pain.

Introduction: While uncommon, humeral head osteonecrosis is an indication for arthroplasty when the humeral head collapse is advanced. The current authors report the short-term clinical results of 7 hemiarthroplasties to treat humeral head osteonecrosis. Materials and Methods: This study focused on 7 reconstructed shoulders of 5 patients whose humeral head osteonecrosis was treated with hemiarthroplasty. The postulated causes were alcohol-induced (4 cases) and steroidinduced (3 cases). The minimum follow-up was 12 months. This study compared the preoperative and postoperative shoulder pain, range of motion, and ASES scores. The postoperative patient satisfaction was assessed. Results: The level of pain during exercise was reduced from a preoperative average of 7.6 to a postoperative average of 1.9. The range of motion, in terms of forward flexion, abduction, and external rotation, improved from preoperative averages of $105.7^{\circ}$, $80^{\circ}$, and $22.1^{\circ}$ to postoperative averages of $146.6^{\circ}$, $139.3^{\circ}$, and $44.3^{\circ}$, respectively. The ASES scores increased from a preoperative mean of 39.0 to a postoperative mean of 84.1. The patients' ratings of the outcomes were excellent (5 cases) and good (2 cases). Conclusions: These short-term results indicate that hemiarthroplasty is a reliable treatment method for humeral head osteonecrosis improving shoulder pain, range of motion, and patient satisfaction.

견관절 전방 탈구의 치료 방법을 결정하는데 있어서 중요한 점은 탈구를 유발한 병태 생리에 대한 충분한 숙지와 함께 적절한 환자의 선택과 치료 결과에 대한 환자의 기대치를 파악하여 그에 맞는 치료를 선택하는 것이 중요하다. 탈구의 횟수에 있어서 첫 탈구이거나 아주 적은 횟수의 탈구로 환자가 일상 생활에 어려움을 호소하지 않는다면 보존적 치료를 시행해야 할 것이며, 수술적 치료의 경우에 환자의 병변 상태나 그 원인 인자에 대한 평가가 정확히 이루어진 후 시행되어야 한다. 환자의 기대치는 일반인의 경우 수상 이전의 활동도의 회복보다는 안정성이 중요할 것이며, 운동 선수인 경우에는 안정성이 회복 되었더라도 운동에 다시 복귀하지 못한다면 만족도는 매우 떨어질 것이다. 이렇듯 의사의 능력이나 욕망 보다는 환자의 활동 정도와 견관절의 병적 상태, 환자의 요구에 맞는 치료방법을 선택해야 할 것이다.

Purpose: To evaluate the bursoscopic findings of refractory primary adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder and to determine the clinical correlation. Materials and Methods: Arthroscopic capsular release was performed in 21 refractory adhesive capsulitis patients who had not responded to conservative treatment. The VAS for pain, range of motion, UCLA score was checked before and after surgery, and at the last follow up. Results: Bursitis, mild friction and impingement on coracoacromial ligament, as well as adhesion were observed. The function and pain improved earlier than after simple acromiohumeral joint capsular release. Conclusion: Subacromial bursoscopy helps rule out a hidden secondary frozen shoulder or secondary changes with primary adhesion. In addition, it has the advantage of being both a treatment and procedure for making a prognosis.

전방 탈구인 경우 첫탈구이거나 생애에 몇번만 탈구를 경험하고 일상생활에 별 지장이 없다면 보존적으로 치료하는 것이 바람직하다. 다만 early surgey가 요구되는 경우는, 첫탈구가 teen aged이면 관절경적 수술을, 골편이 큰 Bankart병변이 있는 첫탈구는 수술하는 것이 좋다. 전방 불안정성인 경우, collision sports는 개방술로, non-athletes이거나 throwing 또는 contact sports는 관절경술로 시행해 주는 것이 바람직하다. 우리가 명심하여야 할 것은 전방 불안정성을 다루는데 환자의 입장에서 서야 한다는 것이다. 의사의 능력 정도나 욕망보다도 환자의 상태, 활동 정도와 환자의 요구에 맞추어 환자를 치료하여야 한다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate clinical efficacy of the arthroscopic anterior acromioplasty for the treatment of chronic impingement syndrome of the shoulder. Materials and Methods : Between July 1995 and December 1997, twenty seven consecutive shoulders of 26 patients with chronic impingement syndrome of the shoulder were treated by arthroscopic anterior acromioplasty. The patients who had severe osteoarthritis of the shoulder full thickness tear of the rotator cuff, and nonoutlet impingement were excluded. The clinical results were evaluated by using UCLA shoulder rating scale. The average follow-up was 2years 3months(range, 1year 7months to 3years 1 11months). Results : Twenty three patients$(85.2\%)$ were rated as excellent or good results, while four patients$(14.8\%)$ were fair. Twenty six cases$(96.3\%)$ were satisfied with the results of the operations, while one case$(3.7\%)$, who had Parkinsonian syndrome, ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament(OPLL) of the cervical spine, and spinal stenosis of the 5th and 6th cervical spine was not satisfied. Conclusion : Arthroscopic anterior acromioplasty was an effective treatment method, especially for relief of pain, for the treatment of chronic impingement syndrome of the shoulder. If the patient has the combined lesions in the cervical spine and the shoulder, and systemic lesions, these lesions may influence the results of treatment after operation, and cause the unpredictable results.
