Orthopaedic medicine was developed and published by James Cyriax, a British Orthopaedic Physician on 1929. Orthopaedic medicine is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue lesions. These disorders affect a substantial proportion of all patients in general and in particular, physiotherapy and sports clinics. In broad terms these disorders em trace conditions. such as arthritis. rheumatism. fibrositis. backache. lumbago, sciatica, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, strained wrist, sprains, aches, inflanmation and sports injuries generally. The soft Moving tissues share one thing in common - they are all radiotranslucent and the tissues in question are the joint capsule, the ligaments, the fasciae, dural sheath. These structures can cause pain but none of them is visible on the radiograph. Dr. Cyriax divided all soft tissues into two basic types : 1) Contractile tissue, 2) Inert or noncontractile tissue. The mechanism of diagnosis is tension applied manually. The physician subjects each tissue about the incriminated joint to tension in turn which they call 'Selective tension' with Cyriax's assessment, a more definitive diagnosis can be obtained and proper treatment can be implemented.

Throwing motion divided by 6 phases such as wind-up, (early and late) cocking, acceleration, deceleration, follow-through. Overuse injuries in baseball result most often from pitching. Poor mechanics is the leading cause of arm injuries. The purpose of this article is to analyze the each joint motion and evaluate the biomechanics and pathomechanics during pitching.

We presented two cases of unstable fracture of the distal clavicle in children associating superior displacement of the ipsilateral distal clavicle and widening of the coracoclavicular (CC) interval. They obtained good osteosynthesis and reduction of the CC interval by conservative treatment. The primary conservative treatment should be considered for the treatment of the unstable distal clavicular fracture with widening of the CC interval in children.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of oriental herbal drink to improve aerobic capacity in elite endurance runners. 14 male elite college runners were participated and divided into two group; i ) oriental herbal drink group (OG), ii ) placebo group (PG). All subjects were completed treadmill exercise protocol using GXT at before (B) and after (A) experimental treatment of one week. The V02max, anaerobic threshold (AT) were measured by gas analysis and heart rate (HR) were measure by polar system at pre, max, post, post 30 min and post 60 min. Blood samples were collected to analyze blood components. The V02max were significantly increased in OGA compared to OGB whereas the V02max and AT in OGA were significantly higher than PGA. The blood lactate concentration were shown higher decrease rate in OGA compared to Doth OGB and PGA during recovery whereas LDH and Na were significantly increased in OGA compared to both OGB and PGA. The blood concentrations of CI and K were significantly increased in OGA compared to PGA. There were no significant differences were founded in WBC, RBC, Hct, Hb and other components associated with energy sources(glucose, TG, TC, HDL, LDL, creatinine, CPK). These results suggested that this oriental herbal drink can be administrated to improve aerobic capacity in long distance runners.

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.
