Purpose: We defined osteoarthritis of the knee as knee pain and crepitus in over 40 years old. The usual clinical manifestation include pain, stiffness, crepitus and loss of function. Methods: We studied 40 cases of the degenerative arthritis of knee clinically. The body mass index(BMI, weight(kg)/height($m^2$) was used as a measure of obesity. Pain self assessment scale by Million Index in according to age, occupation, BMI. Results: Gender by pain self assessment scale was 6.5 in male and 6.6 in female(P<0.05). The prevalence rates obese was 40%. Occupation by pain self assessment scale was 7.0 in Sitting and 5.7 in Standing(P<0.05). Prevalence was increased with age by pain self assessment scale in aged 40-69 years. Conclusion: It has been known that the obesity is one of the predispsing factors of the primary degenerative arthritis of knee. A flexion weight bearing view of the knee obtained at $30^{\circ}$ to $40^{\circ}$ of the joint flexion may be more sensitive in assessing damages to hyaline cartilage because the knee flexion is an important component of the stance phase.

Registration of the mandibular movement in patients with temporomandibular joint noise (clicking and/or crepitus) was performed using one of mandibular tracking devices(SAPHON VISI-TRAINER CII,Tokyo Shizai-sha Inc.,Japan). The obtained results were follows : 1. In many cases, the movement pattern of light emitting diode(LED) attached on the mandibular midline showed lateral deviation from a vertical reference line which was pronounced in association with TMJ noise during opening and closing. 2. In patients with unilateral TMJ noise the mandibular midline usually towards the side demonstrating TMJ noise during opening. 3. A distinct V-shaped discontinuity in the trace of velocity of mandibular movement was found at the point of the TMJ noise. 4. In patients with TMJ noise the velocity of mandibular movement at the point of the TMJ noise was decreased rapidly. 5. In several cases, TMJ noise could be eliminated by traning of Rocabado`s control of TMJ rotations.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to search for more effective methods of diagnosis and treatment of Fracture. Methods : Literature review on Fracture in view of oriental and western medicine. Conclusions : Fracture is classified by anatomical location, grade, shape of line, displacement and cause. The symptom of Fracture is pain, tenderness, deformity, attitude, abnormal mobility, crepitus, neurovascular injury. Fracture is not the same in Healing process by location. The age, endocrine system, chronic debilitating disease, stabilization is effect on healing period and process. Treatment of Fracture is classified emergency care, definite treatment and rehabilitation.

A 25-year-old man presented with a history of pain and crepitus in the right shoulder; he had been previously treated with arthroscopic anterior stabilization using four metallic suture anchors for recurrent traumatic anterior instability 1 year earlier. In this report, we present a patient with recurrent glenohumeral instability combined with anchor-induced arthropathy who was managed with modified arthroscopic transglenoid reconstruction following arthroscopic suture anchor retrieval.

Arthritis may be broadly classified as degenerative - related to defects in cartilage and other joint constituents, often age-associated - or inflammatory disease. Inflammatory arthritis called as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory arthropathy and characterized by a destructive arthritis. RA encompasses infectious arthritis, arthritis caused by intra-articular deposits of crystalline material (gout), syndromes associated with genetic defects (familial Mediterranean fever), and the immune-mediated inflammatory arthropathy. Degenerative arthritis called as osteoarthritis (OA), which is most frequently occurring, causes degenerative figures of knee, waist and knuckle, and accompanies severe pain around the cartilage. Also, it may cause morning stiffness, gelling effect, tenderness, bone swelling, crepitus, and motion disorders.

Temporomandibular disorders typically present findings of limited or asymmetric patterns of jaw opening and joint sounds usually described as clicking, popping, grating, or crepitus. Recently, patients with temporomandibular disorders have received an increasingly aggressive treatment with a greater emphasis on surgical and dental reconstruction. Scientific studies have not clearly identified the specific causes of the temporomandibular disorders and therefore some of the treatments are empiric, without a firm scientific foundation. We carried out a study on the patients of pain clinic OPD and concluded that the causes of the temporomandibular joint(TMJ) pain are the prolonged contraction of the muscles of mastication, especially the masseter muscle. Therefore, the spasmolytic treatment of masseter muscle would be a better treatment for TMJ syndrome rather than the surgical and dental reconstruction.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of TMJ sounds by computerized sound power-spectrum analyser(SONOPAK, Bioresearch Inc., U.S.A.). TMJ sounds were recorded and anaylsed in the 87 patients wit TMJ noises by SONOPAK. The followings are the criteria of TMJ sound analysis. 1. It is possible to record the location of the TMJ sound in relation to the opening/closing cycle of mouth. 2. It is possible to record amplitude of sound(loudness) and frequency of sound (Hz) 3. Clicks display a narrow band of sound within the 0-300 Hz range. The peak frequency generally occurs between 50-150 Hz. And crepitus appear as a wide band of sound, occuring from 0-1300Hz. The data obtained from quantitative TMJ sound analysis give lots of information, but further researches are needed.

Purpose : To determine the clinical correlation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of temporomandibular joint internal derangements. Materials and Methods : The MR images of 150 TMJs in 75 patients were analyzed. The clinical symptoms were pain in the preauricular area and masticatory muscles and TMJ sounds. Results : There was a statistically significant relationship between the MRI diagnoses of different types of disc displacements and clinical findings of pain, clicking, and crepitus. The risk of TMJ pain was increased when the disc displacement without reduction occurred at the same time in combination with the osteoarthrosis and effusion. Conclusion : Regardless of the results, the data indicate that each of these MR imaging variables may not be regarded as the unique and dominant factor in defining TMJ pain occurrence.

Osteochondroma is a benign tumor that is frequently developed in axial skeleton but rare in TMJ. 61-year old female patient visited local dental clinic with left TMJ crepitus on chewing, trismus and hearing discomforts. She was referred with a tentative diagnosis of TMD. We performed clinical and radiographic examination and could observe large radiopaque lesion at left TMJ. Excisional operation was performed. It was diagnosed finally with a osteochondroma.
