  • A 57-year-old man who simultaneously underwent an operation for repair of rotator cuff and a revision operation for nonunion of a Pilon fracture presented with osteomyelitis of the humeral head on the $19^{th}$ day after surgery due to MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection. Infection was controlled after administration of appropriate intravenous antibiotic therapy and performance of several surgical procedures. However, devastating defects at the humeral head and the rotator cuff remained. No case of short term MRSA induced osteomyelitis has been reported.

  • We experienced three cases with chronic shoulder pain due to a knot impingement after arthroscopic rotator cuff tear repair and treated with arthroscopic revision surgery. Ultrasonography is commonly used for an imaging scan and an useful diagnostic tool to follow up after rotator cuff repair recently. We also could diagnose three cases with the knot impingement using ultrasonography obviously. And we report these cases with a review of current literature.

  • Objective: If non-surgical treatment fails, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) is recommended, and ARCR considers graft augmentation in consideration of size, direction, and re-tear. It is reported to have potential benefits by improving the healing rate as it can fill the gaps that have been left behind. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of structural changes observed after ARCR on muscle action through magnetic resonance imaging and to investigate the effect of appropriate physical therapy required for graft augmentation in the general ARCR rehabilitation protocol. Case presentation: A 47-year-old male hospitalized for postoperative rehabilitation following ARCR participated in a 5-week physical therapy intervention. The postoperative day was 6 months, but due to shooting pain and shoulder dysfunction,and the movement of the shoulder was compensatory motion, not normal motion. Physical agents, manual therapy, and supervised exercise for 110 minutes per session were performed 3 times a week, and pain intensity, range of motion, function, and strength were evaluated. Results: As a result of the study, the patient showed positive improvement in pain intensity, range of motion, function, and strength. In addition, normal scapulohumeral rhythm movement was observed. Conclusions: According to the results of this case, appropriate physical therapy according to the compensatory motion shown in the structural changes after ARCR can positively improve the pain intensity, range of motion, function, and strength of ARCR patients.
