研究室紹介
Professor Young Hwan Park's research lab specializes in orthopedic surgery and soft tissue repair, with a strong focus on lower extremity tendons and ligaments. The lab investigates the biomechanics, histopathology, and surgical outcomes of acute tendon ruptures—particularly the Achilles tendon—using advanced imaging and clinical outcome assessments. Key research directions include optimizing suture techniques, evaluating biomaterials such as absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures, and analyzing complications from wound closure methods like topical skin adhesives. The lab also explores the histological and demographic factors linked to tendon degeneration and rupture risk.

15BACKGROUND: Previous studies have not quantitatively analyzed the site of acute Achilles tendon rupture. PURPOSE: To investigate the site of acute Achilles tendon rupture via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS: The medical records and MRIs of 195 patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture were retrospectively reviewed. The rupture site was measured as the distance from the most distal fibers of the Achilles tendon at the calcanea
Although the use of topical skin adhesives has increased as an alternative to conventional skin closure methods, studies on the incidence and risk factors of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to topical skin adhesives have been limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the incidence and risk factors of ACD after the use of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and n-butyl cyanoacrylate topical skin adhesives. We retrospectively reviewed 1145 patients (739 patients with 2-octyl cyanoacrylate and 406
PURPOSE: Degenerative change is a typical histologic finding of Achilles tendinosis and is thought to be a factor associated with Achilles tendon rupture; however, this relationship remains controversial. Therefore, the aim of this study was to review the histological findings of ruptured Achilles tendons and analyze demographics and injury patterns. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was performed for all patients who underwent Achilles tendon repair for acute Achilles tendon rupture at our instit
AIMS: Although absorbable sutures for the repair of acute Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) have been attracting attention, the rationale for their use remains insufficient. This study prospectively compared the outcomes of absorbable and nonabsorbable sutures for the repair of acute ATR. METHODS: A total of 40 patients were randomly assigned to either braided absorbable polyglactin suture or braided nonabsorbable polyethylene terephthalate suture groups. ATR was then repaired using the Krackow sutu
Background: The suture anchors for the repair of deltoid ligament in rotational ankle fracture are inserted mostly into the medial malleolus, but sometimes are placed into the talus depending on the rupture site. This study sought to compare the radiological and clinical outcomes of deltoid ligament repair according to using these 2 locations for suture anchor placement. Methods: The cases of 131 patients (114 patients with suture anchors on the medial malleolus and 17 patients with suture ancho
BACKGROUND: Multiple options are available for closure of incisions in ankle fracture surgery. The aim of our study was to compare postoperative outcomes between conventional simple interrupted nylon sutures and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate as a topical skin adhesive to close the incision after ankle fracture surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 367 consecutive patients (174 simple interrupted nylon suture patients and 193 topical skin adhesive patients) who underwent operative
