  • Prolotherapy, the technology for strengthening lax ligaments, has found increased acceptance in recent years. Prolotherapy involves the injection of the irritant solutions into the weakened or stretched ligaments which are a source of chronic pain. This induces an inflammatory response which mimics the normal repair sequence. Various musculoskeletal disorders of lower extremities such as degenerative arthrtitis, ligament and tendon injuries can be treated with prolotherapy. Prolotherapy is a very good, powerful nonsurgical conservative treatment in various musculoskeletal disorders. Ultrasound exam is very useful to find and confirm the exact location of disorders and check the progress in prolotherapy practices.

  • Cardiac rupture after blunt chest trauma is a relatively uncommon diagnosis, and it is associated with a very high mortality rate. A 41-years-old man crashed his car into a guardrail and he was then transported to hospital. Although unstable vital signs are the most common symptoms of cardiac injury, this patient had stable vital signs. The chest CT scan showed pericardial effusion, and echocardiography did not clearly reveal cardiac tamponade, but the right atrium was slightly collapsed. Cardiac injury was suspected, and surgery was commenced for obtaining the diagnosis and treatment. A 2cm laceration at the junction of the left atrium and the lefl inferior pulmonary vein was discovered and this was repaired with $4{\sim}0$ Polypropylne monofilament sutures. We report here on the successful management of a patient with left atrial rupture following blunt chest trauma.
