In this study, polyvinylsiloxane impression materials were investigated to examine the characteristics of the impression materials that affect the accuracy of the final restoration. The flow property of impression materials which can reproduce the detail in the oral cavity and accurately duplicate it, and the tear strength and strain-in-compression which can cause problems when it is being removed from the oral cavity were studied. The results are as follows. 1. As for the flow properties of impression materials, Imprint II was 18.24${\pm}$0.30, which was the highest: and Twinz was 8.9${\pm}$0.62, which was the lowest. There was no significant difference among Imprint II, Examixfine, and Genie(p<0.05). 2. As for the tear strength of impression materials, Imprint II had the highest level, while Genie had the lowest value. There was no significant difference between Twinz and Genie(p<0.05). 3. As for the strain-in-compression, there were significant differences by impression material groups(p<0.05); the strain-in-compression of Examixfine was shown to be the highest at 5.56${\pm}$0.56, Twinz and Imprint II followed respectively, and Genie has the lowest at 3.19${\pm}$0.23. 4. Flow showed the correlation with tear strength but no significant connection to strain-in-compression. Also, there was no significant correlation between the tear strength and strain-in-compression (p<0.05). Making impression to reproduce oral tissue and tooth is an important part of making final restoration. The accuracy of impressions is influenced by the methods of taking impression or other condition. However the property itself of impression materials is the most essential and the materials with proper qualities should be selected.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the prognostic factors for arthroscopic subacromial decompres­sion and rotator cuff debridement in impingement syndrome. Materials and Methods : Arthroscopic subacromial decompression with or without rotator cuff debridement was performed in 46 cases of 44 consecutive patients with either stage n or stage ill impingement syndrome. The patients were classified by Neer's stage and size of tear according to the criteria of Cofield. The results were assessed with UCLA rating scale. We used repeated measures ANOVA and Chi-square test to assess correlation between the results and six variables including stage, rotator cuff tear size, age at the operation, duration of symptom, throwing sports activity, and trauma history. The follow-up period averaged 53 months(range, 27 to 92 months). Results: Lower stage by Neer's stage was correlated with higher postoperative scores and with significant difference between preoperative and postoperative scores of UCLA rating scale. However, other factors did not show significant influence upon the results. The patients with complete rotator cuff who showed satisfactory results after procedures were older and had shorter symptom duration, small cuff size. Conclusions : In patients with impingement syndrome treated by arthroscopic debridement and subacromial decompression, superior results were obtained when belonged to a lower Neer stage and when the rotator cuff was only partially tom. In cases with complete rotator cuff tear, higher success rates were obtained with smaller tear sizes. Age at operation, duration of symptoms, throwing athlete, traumatic tear did not affect the results.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the type of subscapularis tendon tears diagnosed during arthroscopy and the outcomes of physical tests and of isokinetic muscle strength tests. Methods: We preoperatively evaluated physical outcomes and isokinetic muscle strength of 60 consecutive patients who underwent an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and/or subacromial decompression. We divided the patients into five groups according to the type of subscapularis tear, which we classified using Lafosse classification system during diagnostic arthroscopic surgery. Results: When we performed a trend analysis between the outcomes of the physical tests and the severity of subscapularis tendon tear, we found that both the incidence of positive sign of the collective physical tests and that of individual physical tests increased significantly as the severity of the subscapularis tear increased (p<0.001). Similarly, the deficit in isokinetic muscle strength showed a tendency to increase as the severity of subscapularis tear increased, but this positive correlation was statistically significant in only the deficit between those with Lafosse type II tears and those with Lafosse type III tears. Conclusions: Although no single diagnostic test surpasses above others in predicting the severity of a subscapularis tear, our study implies that, as a collective unit of tests, the total incidence of the positive rate of the physical tests and the extent of isokinetic strength deficit may correlate with severity of subscapularis tears.

Background: This study was designed to evaluate characters of the rotator cuff tear (RCT) recognized after primary shoulder dislocation in patients older than 40. Methods: From 2008 to 2019, patients who visited two hospitals after dislocation were retrospectively reviewed. Inclusion criteria were patients over 40 who had dislocation, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) undergone. Exclusion criteria were patients who lost to follow-up, combined with any proximal humerus fracture, brachial plexus injury, and previous operation or dislocation history in the ipsilateral shoulder. Also patients who had only bankart or bony bakart lesion in MRI were excluded. We evaluated RCTs that were recognized by MRI after the primary shoulder dislocation with regard to tear size, degree, involved tendons, fatty degeneration, the age when the first dislocation occurred, and the duration until the MRI was evaluated after the dislocation. Results: Fifty-five RCTs were included. According to age groups, the tear size was increased in coronal and sagittal direction, the number of involved tendons was increased, and the degree of fatty degeneration was advanced in infraspinatus muscle. Thirty-two cases (58.2%) conducted MRI after 3 weeks from the first shoulder dislocation event. This group showed that the retraction size of the coronal plane was increased significantly and the fatty accumulation of the supraspinatus muscle had progressed significantly. Conclusions: Age is also a strong factor to affect the feature of RCT after the shoulder dislocation in patients over 40. And the delay of the MRI may deteriorate the degree of tear size and fatty degeneration.

Background: Atelocollagen has been studied for restoration of rotator cuff tendon. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the clinical outcome of ultrasound-guided atelocollagen injection in an outpatient clinic for patients with partial rotator cuff tear. Methods: We recruited 42 outpatients who visited our hospital from May 2019 to September 2019. Atelocollagen injection was performed in patients with partial rotator cuff tear diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound. American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Constant, Korean Shoulder Score (KSS) and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores, and range of motion were assessed before injection and after 2 months. Statistically, we analyzed the clinical results using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Finally, 15 patients were enrolled for analysis. There was no significant difference between pre- and post-injection in terms of range of motion, ASES (57.0 vs. 60.4), Constant (56.4 vs. 58.9), KSS (64.6 vs. 68.5), and pain-visual analog scale (4.2 vs. 3.7), except function-visual analog scale (F-VAS; 6.3 vs. 7.1) and SST (6.6 vs. 6.9). A significant difference was found in SST (P=0.046) and F-VAS (P=0.009). According to the ultrasound results at 2 months, we found hyperechoic materials in three of seven patients. The most common complication of atelocollagen injection was post-injection pain (53%, 8/15). Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided atelocollagen injection for partial rotator cuff tear showed no significant change in terms of clinical outcomes, except for F-vas and SST score. Tendon regeneration was not clear due to the remnants of atelocollagen present at 2-month follow-up ultrasound. There seems to be alarming post-injection pain for 2 to 3 days in the patients who received atelocollagen injection in an outpatient clinic.

Objectives : A rare case of dural tear ensuing after a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment leading to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine was found, so we report it. Methods : A 32-year-old woman presented with back and neck pain in 1 days earlier. The patient undertook a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment. After this maneuver, the patient complained of an orthostatic headache with nausea. The patient's headache worsened, and lying down gave the only measure of limited relief. In Brain CT and MRI study, nonspecific finding was detected. In Cistemography study, CSF leakage at lower cervical or upper thoracic area was detected. Results and Conclusions : It is supposed that this patient suffered a dural tear and CSF leakage secondarily due to a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment. From this case, we can understand the etiology of dural tear to some extent and consider the complication of Chuna Manipulation Treatment. In the future, more study, research and prospective trial for complications of a cervical Chuna Manipulation Treatment is needed.
