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.

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders and lumbar diseases in adults when the prevalence rate of osteoarthritis is increasing and to help develop health policies that can improve oral health and health in general. The study used representative data from the 5th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey phase 3 (2012). In total, we analyzed the data of 3,017 individuals aged over 50 years who participated in the health-related survey and underwent radiography of the lumbar joints. PASW statistics ver. 18.0 was used for analysis. This study revealed the following results: 16.1% experienced at least one symptom of temporomandibular joint disorders within the recent single year, 20.6% experienced lower back pain in the recent three months, and 30.6% had lumbar osteoarthritis revealed using radiography of the lumbar joints. Symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders, lower back pain, and lumbar osteoarthritis were correlated with each other; the respondents who experienced symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders had 1.70 times (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.30~2.22) higher prevalence of lower back pain and 1.20 times (95% CI, 0.86~1.68) higher prevalence of lumbar osteoarthritis than in those with no such difficulties. The results of this study confirmed that the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders affected lumbar diseases in adulthood. Therefore, adequate treatment and prevention of the symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders in adults is expected to make crucial contributions to decreases in the prevalence rate of lumbar diseases and an improvement in the quality of life.

We report a case of an 85-year-old woman with tuberculous subdeltoid bursitis. Tubeculous bursitis without adjacent joint tuberculosis may occur any site but it is rare. It is common in bursae subjected to trauma like trochanteric, prepatellar, olecranon and so on. Because the clinical findings or physical examination of tuberculous subdeltoid bursitis are similar to rotator cuff disorder and the MRI or arthroscopic findings are similar to synovial diseases, careful differential diagnosis is necessary.

Palmoplantar pustulosis may be associated with peculiar bone and joint conditions. Initially restricted to the anterior chest wall, these conditions were later found to involve peripheral bones and joints. The same aseptic pseudoinfectious bone and joint lesions were also found associated with severe acne. In 1987, Kahn et al suggested this acronym to describe a number of reports of peculiar bone, joint, and skin lesions published over the last 25 years. SAPHO sydrome stands for synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis syndrome. We report one case of SAPHO syndrome: A 27-year-old female presented left clavicular and right sacroiliac joint pain with hyperostosis and pustulosis palmaris.

Fungal arthritis is a rare joint infection that occurs in immunosuppressant patient, intravenous drug abuser and long term antibiotics user, and is especially rare in a healthy adult. Two case reports of fungal arthritis have been demonstrated in the country, but those in healthy adults have not been reported yet. Here, we experienced an antifungal treatment following successful arthroscopic debridement of fungal arthritis with a popliteal cyst in a healthy adult who got repetitive intraarticular steroid injections and report the case with review of relevant literatures. Surgeons should consider the possibility of fungal arthritis although it is rare and demonstrates nonspecific clinical features.

This study was to analyze the satisfaction and intention to recommend a hospital for spinal and joint patients. Using a structured questionnaire at a spinal and joint hospital in Seoul in 2019, and the relationship between demographic and social characteristics and patient satisfaction, factors influencing hospital satisfaction, and recommendation intention were analyzed. In outpatients, hospital satisfaction was higher in neatness and cleanliness of staff, kindness and facility environment comfort, and hospital satisfaction was low in questions related to waiting time. In inpatients, women's satisfaction was higher in the nursing and hospital environment areas. The correlation analysis between the satisfaction and the willing to recommend, there was a positive correlation. In the sub-analysis, hospital satisfaction was higher in the group that responded with respect and courtesy, listening, satisfaction of the nurse, hospital cleanliness and safety. This study is can be used to improve the quality of hospital care services in related hospitals.

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).
