Objectives: There is no report on treatment of acute traumatic rotator cuff tear in Traditional Korean Medicine. We reported Traditional Korean Treatment for pain relief and better movement of acute traumatic rotator cuff tear. Methods: Shoulder MRI was used to confirm the diagnosis of tear of rotator cuff. The patient was treated with Traditional Korean Methods (Acupuncture, Herbal medicine, Pharmacopuncture) for 6 months. We evaluated the patient through VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), UCLA shoulder scale, ROM (Range of motion) and Shoulder MRI. Results: After 6 months of treatment, the patient's VAS was decreased whereas UCLA score and Shoulder ROM were increased. Rotator cuff tear was repaired on Shoulder MRI images. Conclusions: In acute traumatic rotator cuff tear, Korean Traditional Treatment is good method for pain relief and better movement.

A report of a 79 year old male patient suffering from acute myocardial infarction with Mallory-Weiss tear after successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) by emergency medical technician in the swimming pool is presented. Successful percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) was done after appropriate transfusion. The patient survived and discharged without major complications after admitting 11days in the hospital. Importance of CPR in AMI patient is reiterated as complication such as Mallory-Weiss tear may arise.

Since shoulder have a higher proportion of muscle which would have low electrical resistance, there could be more electrical damage to the rotator cuff muscles. We present a patient with acute rotator cuff tear by sudden uncontrolled jerking contractions caused by an electrical shock. A case of 42-year-old man with acute rotator cuff tear due to electrical injury to the shoulder was presented. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a full thickness tear and an undulating appearance of the peripheral end of the torn supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscle, suggesting an acute complete rupture. By arthroscopic surgery, the torn rotator cuff tendons were repaired with a suture bridge technique. At the final follow-up, the patient had a full, pain-free range of motion and had fully recovered shoulder muscle power.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medical treatment on 4 patients with acute traumatic meniscal tear, presenting severe knee pain and limitation of range of motion of the knee joint. Methods : 4 patients with acute traumatic meniscal tear had been treated with acupuncture, herbal treatment, moxibustion, and wet-cupping therapy. From administration to discharge, we recorded subjective pain by using a visual analogue scale and by measuring the range of motion of the knee joint once per week. Results : The visual analogue scale of knee pain of all 4 cases reduced to 0 after treatment. The range of motion of the knee joint also increased considerably after treatment. Conclusions : In this study, Korean medical treatment may have been effective in reducing knee pain and increasing the range of motion of the knee joint.

Full-thickness rotator cuff tears are relatively uncommon in the young adults. One of the pathogenesis of such tear is thought to be closely related to the specific trauma event. Favorable outcome is expected in young patient rotator cuff tears when it is diagnosed early following prompt surgical repair. However, early detection is sometimes difficult when the acute rotator cuff tear is combined with other injuries especially around the shoulder joints such as ipsilateral humerus fractures. Authors report an uncommon case of acute traumatic rotator cuff tear accompanied by the midhumerus shaft fracture in young adult.

외상성 급성기 슬관절 반월상 연골판 손상으로 인하여 통증 및 보행장애를 호소하는 환자에 대하여 관절강내 봉약침을 시술하였으며 그 결과 통증의 감소 및 보행시간의 증가와 WOMAC Index score의 감소를 확인하였다. 향후 슬관절 반월상 연골판 손상환자에 대한 봉약침 시술의 효과에 대한 적용 및 연구가 더욱 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

This is a case report about effect of syeom pharmacopuncture, bee venom and autohemo-seperated regeneration pharmacopuncture(ASRP) for acute traumatic subdeltoid bursitis with partial tear of subscapularis tendon, which was diagnosed by symptoms and MRI(Magnetic resonance imaging) and caused by bongchuna treatment. We evaluated the patient using Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) every two or four days and range of movement(ROM), physical examination of shoulder about one per ten days and observed improvement with reexamination by ultrasonography and MRI as well. Pharmacopuncture rapidly reduced pain and improved range of motion and function of shoulder in patients with acute sub-deltoid bursitis even though it was severe symptom. Our result suggest that autohemo-seperated regeneration pharmacopuncture might be effective in regenerating the tear of soft tissue such as subscapularis tendon.

목적: 급성 전방 십자 인대 파열 환자에서 관절경을 이용한 최소한의 절개에 의한 봉합술 후 조기 운동을 시행하여 그 결과를 알아보는데 있다. 대상 및 방법: 2001년 1월부터 2002년 12월까지 슬관절의 급성 전방 십자 인대 파열로 내원하여 인대 봉합술로 치료받은 환자 중 최소 6개월 이상 추시 관찰되었던 38명(39례)를 대상으로 하였으며, 환자의 평가는 이학적 검사, KT-10000을 이용한 전방 전위 검사 및 Lysholm평가를 이용하여 수술결과를 파열양상, 활막의 상태, 내측 측부 인대 손상 여부등에 따라 분석하였다. 결과: 수술후 운동장해는 근위부 및 원위부의 복합파열과 내측 측부 인대 동반손상시 빈도가 의미있게 높았으며 근위부 단독파열과 활막의 파열이 없는 경우 의미있게 낮은 결과를 보였다. 전방 불안정성은 근위부 파열만 있는 경우 의미있게 적었으며 복합파열과 활막의 손상이 심할수록 전방 전위가 의미있게 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 결론: 급성 전방 십자 인대 손상의 치료로 관절경적 봉합술은 근위부 단독파열이면서 활막손상이 없는 경우에 있어서 결과가 좋은것을 알 수 있었다.

목적 : 급성 전방십자인대의 손상에 있어 자기공명영상의 진단적 정확성 및 파열양상에 대한 유용성을 관절경 검사소견과의 비교연구를 통해 알아보았다. 대상 및 방법: 2002년 1월부터 2004년 6월까지 급성 슬관절 손상을 받고 임상적으로 전방십자인대 손상이 의심되어 자기공명영상검사를 시행한 후 이어서 관절경검사를 시행받은 환자 60례를 대상으로 하였다. 급성 전방십자인대의 손상에 있어 자기공명영상의 진단의 정확도, 파열양상에 대한 유용성에 대하여 관절경검사소견을 기준으로 양성예측도를 이용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 자기공명영상에서 불연속성을 보인 52례 모두에서 관절경검사상 전방십자인대 손상이 확인되었다. 파열양상에 있어서는 파열부위, 전반적인 부종, 국소 부종의 확인에 있어서는 관절경검사소견과 자기공명영상소견이 모두 일치한 결과를 보였고 원위부 허탈, 복합파열의 확인에 있어서는 정확도가 떨어지는 결과를 보였다. 결론: 급성 전방십자인대 손상의 자기공명영상의 소견은 관절경적 소견과 대체로 일치하였으며 특히 파열 양상에 있어서는 파열부위, 전반적인 부종, 국소부종의 확인에 있어서 매우 정확한 것을 갈 수 있었다.

Authors report a rare case of acute intracranial subdural and intraventricular hemorrhage that were caused by intracranial hypotension resulted from cerebrospinal fluid leakage through an unidentified dural tear site during spinal surgery. The initial brain computed tomography image showed acute hemorrhages combined with preexisting asymptomatic chronic subdural hemorrhage. One burr hole was made over the right parietal skull to drain intracranial hemorrhages and subsequent drainage of cerebrospinal fluid induced by closure of the durotomy site. Among various methods to treat cerebrospinal fluid leakage through unidentified dural injury site, primary repair and spinal subarachnoid drainage are well known treatment options. The brain imaging study to diagnose intracranial hemorrhage should be taken before selecting the treatment method, especially for spinal subarachnoid drainage. Similar mechanism to its spinal counterpart, cranial cerebrospinal fluid drainage has not been mentioned in previous article and could be another treatment option to seal off an unidentified dural tear in particular case of drainage of intracranial hemorrhage is needed.
