Repetitive overhead throwing exerts significant mechanical stress on the elbow joint. Pitching in baseball, serving in tennis, spiking in volleyball, passing in American football and launching in javelin-throwing can all produce elbow pathology by forceful valgus stress, with medial stretching, lateral compression and posterior impingement. This stress can lead to developmental anatomic changes in the young thrower. Asymptomatic pathology in the shoulder and elbow joint is prevalent and, with overuse, can progress to disabling injury. Joint injury occurs as a result of the body's inability to properly coordinate motion segments during the pitching delivery, leading to further structural damage. The implications of acute and overuse injuries and the possibility of permanent damage should be understood by parents, coaches and the athletes. Proper understanding of the intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors that could lead to elbow injuries is thus required. Measures to prevent elbow injuries should include proper coaching, warm-up, medical expertise and protective gear. Injury prevention and rehabilitation should center on optimizing pitching mechanics, core strength, scapular control, and joint range of motion.

Purpose: To perform the retrospective analysis of the sports injuries sustained by the college Taekwondo athletes in the respect of the injury patterns, mechanism of injury and clinical outcome Materials and Methods: This study is based on 47 out of 49 college Takwondo athletes, who had experienced the Takwondo related musculoskeletal injuries severe enough to visit the clinic for medical treatment. The mean age at the time of injury was 18.8 years and 39 were males and 8 females. The Taekwondo career was average 9.6 years and the injuries were sustained at average 6.7 years of their career. The injuries were analyzed by the detailed interview with thorough physical examination. Results: Forty-seven Taekwondo athletes in the study experienced average 1.8 injury/person (total 85 cases) with 26 persons of one time experience(55.3%), 11 persons of 2 times(23.4%),4 persons of 3 times (8.5%),5 persons of 4 times (10.6%) and 1 person of 5 times (2.2%). Injuries occurred during training in 50 cases (58.8%), while during match in 35 cases (41.2%). Injuries occurred during the attack phase of the match are 26 cases (31.7%) while 49 cases (57.6%) during the defense phase. As for the pattern of injury, fracture was the most common with 49 cases (57.6%), followed by ligament injury with 21 cases (24.7%). The upper extremity injuries were 32 cases (37.7%) while the lower extremity injuries were 44 cases (51.8%) Mode of medical treatment were operation in 15cases(17.7%), cast in 21 cases(24.7%), splint in 33 cases (38.8%), physical therapy in 15cases(17.7%) and acupuncture in 1 case(1.1%) Conclusion: Almost all the college Taekwondo athletes (96%) experienced sports injuries severe enough to receive medical treatments with the fracture being the most common injury pattern. The injuries occurred more commonly during the defense phase of the competition.

The more civilized, the more incidence had happened in our daily life, particularly in industrial factories, by traffic accident, and in sports, etc. in the dental field. The accidental trauma is usually involved the teeth and surronuding tissues. And the author intended to study of the traumatic injuries of anterior teeth by individual tooth, age, sex, cause of trauma, and how they were treated. The following results were obtained: 1. The patients with traumatic injuries of the anterior teeth were 1.8% among the total dental out-patients. 2. By the age group, the twenties was most frequent in both sexes, and the teenagers next. 3. The predominant causes of traumatic injuries in the dental field were traffic accident (23.4%), fighting (19.2%), falling (18.5%), and sports (7.3%). 4. In the classification of injuries of the teeth, uncomplicated crown fractures (31.2%), subluxations (14.7%), and the complicated crown fractures (13.2%) were presented. 5. By the individual tooth in the traumatic cases, the upper cental incisors were most frequently injuried (49.8%). 6. In the treatments fillings and endodontic treatments (33.2%), splints (13.5%), extractions (11.7%) were main after care method.
