Objectives This study aimed to review clinical studies on traditional Korean medicine treatment for medial collateral ligament injury of the knee. Methods Clinical studies on Korean traditional medicine treatment of medial collateral ligament injury were conducted. We used five Korean online databases (OASIS, KISS, RISS, DBPia, and ScienceOn) and three foreign databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, and CNKI). Out of 99 studies that were found, we excluded repeated articles, studies that were not related to Korean medicine, and those not relevant to the topic of the study. Results Ten randomized controlled trials and 20 case studies were selected. Eight traditional Korean medicine treatments, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, chuna, and herbal ointment, were used in these studies. The most commonly used treatment was found to be acupuncture. Conclusions Our study showed that traditional Korean medicine for medial collateral ligament injuries was effective. However, there were some limitations. Further clinical studies and randomized controlled clinical trials are needed for more evidence on Korean traditional medicine.

Objective : The purpose of these cases is to observe the effect of burning acupuncture therapy on the traumatic injury of medical collateral ligament. Methods : The patients were treated by burning acupuncture therapy to recover injury of medical collateral ligament. The progress evaluation of knee joint pain was measured by the knee society knee score(KSKS), function score (KSFS) and visual analog scale(VAS). Results : KSKS & KSFS were increased and VAS decreased in all cases. Conclusions : We had concluded that the burning acupuncture therapy can be effective to knee joint pain caused by traumatic injury of medial collateral ligament.

Objectives: Digital infrared thermographic imaging (DITI) has been used widely for various inflammatory diseases, circulatory diseases, skin diseases, musculoskeletal diseases and cancers. In cases of ligament injury, obviously the temperature of the damaged area increases due to local inflammation; however, whether the temperature also increases due to DITI has not been determined. The purpose of the present study was to identify whether or not the changes of temperature in patient's with medial collateral ligament injury were really due to infrared thermography and to determine the applicability of DITI for assessing ligament injuries. Methods: Twenty patient's who underwent DITI for a medial collateral ligament injury from September 2012 to June 2014 were included in the current study. The thermographic images from the patient's knees were divided to cover seven sub-areas: the middle of the patella, and the inferomedial, the inferolateral, the superomedial, the superolateral, the medial, and the lateral regions of patella. The temperatures of the seven regions were measured, and the temperature differences between affected and unaffected regions were analyzed by using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: The 20 patient's were composed of 14 women (70%) and 6 men (30%), with a mean age of $62.15{\pm}15.71$ (mean${\pm}$standard deviation (SD)) years. The temperature of the affected side, which included the middle of the patella, and the inferomedial, the superomedial, the superolateral, and the medial regions, showed a significant increase compared to that of the unaffected side (P < 0.05). The inferolateral and the lateral regions showed no significant changes. Conclusion: Our study results suggest that DITI can show temperature changes if a patient has a ligament injury and that it can be applied in the evaluation of a medial collateral ligament injury.

Objectives : The purpose of this report was to introduce 3 cases of patients diagnosed with both medial collateral ligament tear and meniscal tear that showed clinical improvement after Korean medicine treatment. Methods : These patients received Korean herbal medicine, pharmacopuncture treatment, and acupuncture treatment. We assessed these cases by using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities'Arthritis Index (WOMAC), and the European Quality of Life-5 Dimension Index (EQ-5D). Results : After Korean medicine treatment, most of the NRS, WOMAC, and EQ-5D scores showed improvement on every discharge date of these 3 cases. The NRS and WOMAC scores of all cases showed a decrease. The EQ-5D of all cases showed an increase. Conclusions : Through this research, we concluded that Korean medicine treatment can be helpful in relieving pain and improving the quality of life and function of knee joint movement in patients with medial collateral ligament tear and meniscal tears.

슬관절 인공관절 치환술 중 드물게 발생하는 내측 측부 인대 견열 골절의 치료는 보조기나 캐스트 등의 보존적 치료, 금속 나사못을 이용한 고정 등의 다양한 치료법이 소개되고 있다. 생흡수성 봉합 나사못은 생체 적합성, 방사선 투과성, 제거를 위한 2차 수술이 불필요하다는 장점 등으로 여러 부위에서 금속 고정물을 대체해 사용되고 있으나 골용해 등의 합병증이 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 슬관절 인공관절 치환술 중 발생한 내측 측부 인대 견열 골절에 대해 생흡수성 봉합 나사못을 이용한 고정 후 심각한 골용해 소견을 경험하여 사용에 신중을 기해야 한다는 판단하에 이에 대한 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

This study is to show the clinical effect of Korean medicine integrated treatment for medial collateral ligament tear with bone contusion by traffic accident. The patients were treated using Korean medicine integrated treatment including acupunture, pharmacoacupunture and herbal medication. The effect of treatment was measured by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), EuroQol-5 Dimension Index (EQ-5D) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). After treatment, case 1 improved WOMAC from 94 to 24, EQ-5D from -0.056 to 0.72, and NRS from 10 to 2. Case 2 showed an improvement in symptoms from WOMAC 91 to 14, EQ-5D from 0.077 to 0.862, NRS from 10 to 2.5. In addition, as a result of follow-up about 5 months after each onset, case 1 showed a further improvement with WOMAC 0, EQ-5D 0.95 and case 2 WOMAC 7, EQ-5D 0.913. These results suggest that Korean medicine integrated treatment might be a possible therapeutic option for the medial collateral ligament tear with bone contusion by traffic accident.

목적: 내측 반월상 연골 후각 부착부 봉합술 시 시행하는 표층 내측측부인대 유리술의 유용성 및 안전성에 대해 연구하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2006년 4월부터 2010년 9월까지 표층 내측측부인대 유리술을 시행하지 않고 내측 반월상 연골 후각 부착부 봉합술을 시행한 환자 20명(PM군)과 표층 내측측부인대 유리술을 시행하고 봉합술을 시행한 시행한 환자 32명(RM군)을 대상으로 하였다. 동반 수술을 시행한 환자는 제외하였다. 안정성 검사로 술 후 3개월, 1년 추시 시 압통, 주관적 불안정성 및 외반 부하 검사를 시행하였고, 유용성 검사로 압박대 사용시간을 비교하였고, 임상 결과는 Lysholm 점수와 International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) 점수로 평가하였다. 결과: 전례에서 표층 내측측부인대 유리술과 관련하여 임상적으로 의미 있는 합병증은 없었다. 술 후 3개월 및 1년 추시 관찰 시 압통, 주관적 불안정성에서 음성을 보였으며, 5명의 환자에서 외반 부하 검사상 grade I의 불안정성을 보였다. 압박대 사용 시간은 PM군 $53.5{\pm}13.6$분, RM군 $41.3{\pm}12.7$분으로 두 군간 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 술 후 임상결과는 PM군은 술 전 Lysholm 점수 $56.8{\pm}5.5$에서 술 후 $85.1{\pm}5.8$로(P<0.001), 술 전 IKDC 점수 $42.6{\pm}6.3$에서 술 후 $77.2{\pm}6.3$로(P<0.001), RM군은 술 전 Lysholm 점수 $56.2{\pm}5.4$에서 술 후 $87.4{\pm}3.9$로(P<0.001), 술 전 IKDC 점수 $42.7{\pm}5.7$에서 술 후 $89.6{\pm}2.9$로(P<0.001) 개선되었다. 두 군간 수술 전, 후의 Lysholm 점수, IKDC 점수 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). 결론: 표층 내측측부인대 유리술은 슬관절 내측 수술 시 시야 확보에 유리하며, 수술 시간을 줄일 수 있고, 임상적 의미있는 잔존 불안정성을 남기지 않아 내측 반월상 연골 후각 부착부 봉합술 시 유용한 것으로 사료된다.

The trained examiner can gain considerable information from visual inspections of the elbow joint, Because much of the joint is subcutaneous, any appreciable alteration in the skeletal anatomy often is detectable. Gross soft tissue swelling or muscle atrophy is also early observed. Inspection and palpation of the medial and lateral epicondyles and the tip of the otecranon from an equilateral triangle with the elbow is flexed. Normally, the arc of flexion extension, although variable, ranges from about O to 140 degrees plus or minus 10 degrees. The posterolateral rotatory instability(PLRI) of the elbow is most common pattern of elbow instability. The lateral collateral ligament complex also includes a narrow but stout band of ligamentous tissue blending with the distal and proterior fibers of the capsule to insert distally on the crista supinatoris of the ulna. This is the lateral ulnar collateral ligament(LUCL). A clinical elbow pivot shift test confirms the PLRI. There are also two active apprehension signs.
