Objective : Acupuncture therapy is known as a effective method to pain control including elbow area pain. To make clear about effectiveness of acupuncture affecting to recovery of grip power for the patient with elbow area pain, we compare the patients recieved acupuncture treatment to people with elbow pain unrecieved acupuncture treatment. Material and Methods : This clinical study has been carried out with 30 cases of patients with elbow area pain. 20 patients divides into two groups were treated by acupuncture in MPS with elbow area. Two groups were radial area pain group and ulnar area pain group. The other 10 people with elbow area pain working a resturant in Ilsan were no treatment. The study was applicated and estimated grip power before 1 st treatment and after each treatment for 4 days. Results : 1. In the radial area pain group, the acupuncture treatment is more effective than no treatment (p<0.007). 2. In the ulnar area group, the acupuncture treatment is more effective than no treatment (p<0.037). 3. The effectiveness of acupunctrue treatment is no differnce between radial area pain and ulnar area pain(P<0.529) 4. In the elbow area pain group, the acupuncture treatment is more effective than no treatment (p<0.001). Conclusion : These results shows that acupuncture treatment is effective in elbow area pain.

The common disorder called tennis elbow exhibits typical clinical characteristics, i.e. painful condition at the lateral aspect of elbow joint on resisted wrist extension. However an exact cause for this painful condition has not yet been established. Many observers believe that the usual lesion of tennis elbow is a partial rupture of the extensor tendon at the tenoperiosteal juction on the lateral epicondyle of humerus. However the mechanism of the tendon rupture has never been explained. Conservative treatments on the tender area have been the most common therapeutic modalities for pain relief of tennis elbow. Based on my clinical experiences and anatomical studies, I discerned that tennis elbow is a periostitis of lateral epicondyle of humerus secondary to spastic contraction of muscular belly of extensor carpi radialis after over-stretched injury. Therefore, spasmolytic treatment on the extensor carpi radialis muscle provided a favorable result for permanent relief for tennis elbow pain.

Purpose: To evaluate the results in patients who received total elbow replacement for posttraumatic destroyed or unreduced elbow joint. Materials and Methods: Six patients with posttraumatic destroyed, or unreduced elbow joint, who were nearly impossible to move actively and had pain and grossly unstable joint, were followed up average 42 months. 3 cases were soft tissue injuries and bone defects which were caused by severe comminuted fracture, 1 was a nonunion with comminuted fracture, and 2 were unreduced elbow joint. Total elbow replacement was performed average 10 months after the injury. All the cases were used by semiconstrained prosthesis, and the results were estimated by Mayo elbow perfomance score. Results: Pain was decreased in all the cases postoperatively. Average ranges of motion were improved with active extension 20° and flexion 120°. Mayo elbow performance scores were pain 42.5 points, range of motion 17.5 points, stability 8.3 points, function 19.2 points and totally 87.5 points, and final results were 3 excellent and 3 good. Loosening of prosthesis was not found in all the cases by final follow-up radiograph. Conclusicon: Semiconstrained TER can be used as a effective treatment improving pain and active ranges of motion caused by posttraumatic destroyed or unreduced elbow joint, however, long term follow-up is needed because early loosening of TER can be occurred due to severe bone defects.

Background : The purpose of this study is to identify the level of positive influence on the pain and the gripping power in patients with tennis elbow by comparing the TENS treatment method and the kinesio taping therapy with good accessibility among the kinesio taping therapy and electrical therapy. Methods : Targeting the patients diagnosed with tennis elbow, the subjects were categorized in groups of four, each of electrical therapy group and kinesio tape therapy group where the degree of pain reduction through VAS before and after the treatment of each group and the measurement of the degree of gripping power increase using the gripping power measurement tool as well as the pain reduction changes and gripping power increase before and after the treatment between the two groups were compared. Result : As a result, the electrical therapy group and the kinesio tape group were able to obtain the results of pain reduction and gripping power increase through VAS before and after the treatment, but for all pain reduction and gripping power increase, it had no statistically significant changes(p>.05). In addition, in the changes of pain reduction and changes of gripping power increase before and after the treatment, there were no statistically significant differences between the electrical therapy group and the kinesio tape group(p>.05). Conclusion : Based on the results so far, it is thought that the kinesio taping therapy can positively influence the pain reduction of patients with tennis elbow and increase of gripping power.

Background: To investigate how many rookie pitchers suffered from injuries while playing in the amateur league without guidelines for prevention of excessive pitching, we analyzed their amateur pitching patterns based on the pitch count, use of breaking balls, and pitches during winter camp. Methods: Forty-one rookie pitchers who graduated from high school or university in 2013 and joined professional baseball teams. Participants were interviewed by a trainer using our questionnaire. Injury inclusion criteria were 1) history of shoulder surgery, 2) history of elbow surgery, 3) shoulder pain requiring treatment, and 4) elbow pain requiring treatment. Results: Mean number of pitches per game and warm-up pitches for practice was 84.5 pitches (range, 15 to 130 pitches) and 16.4 pitches (range, 2 to 210 pitches), respectively. Mean number of pitches during the last year was 906.9 (range, 80 to 2,000). Mean number of maximal pitches was 127 pitches (range, 50 to 210 pitches). Fourteen pitchers had pitched over 150 pitches. Twenty-seven pitchers (65.9%) had pitched in spite of enduring pain. During winter training (mean 1.8 months), mean number of pitches per day was 162.5 pitches, and 20 pitchers (48.8%) had practiced pitching excessively despite the cold weather. Twenty-six rookies (63.4%) had shoulder pain or history of shoulder surgery, and 31 pitchers (75.6%) had elbow pain or history of elbow surgery. Only four participants (9.8%) did not have pain and history of surgery. Conclusions: For young baseball pitchers, guidelines for prevention of excessive pitching and for regulating the winter training program may be needed.

$\cdot$ Arthroscopic management is the effective method with acceptable results for coronoid impingement of stiff elbow contributing to the functional improvement and pain relief. $\cdot$ The functional improvement and pain relief seem to be affected by the severity of a degenerative change of the elbow joint. $\cdot$ Excision of coronoid process is required in a marked limitation of further flexion in addition to deeping of the coronoid fossa and anterior capsular release. $\cdot$ Excision of olecranon tip or posterior capsular release are effective method in severe flexion contracture.
