PURPOSE: To analyze the effect of percutaneous pie-crusting medial release on valgus laxity before and after surgery and on clinical outcomes. METHODS: Eight-hundred fourteen consecutive patients who underwent an arthroscopic procedure for the medial compartment of the knee were evaluated retrospectively. Sex, age, type of operation (meniscectomy, meniscal repair, and posterior root repair), type of accompanying surgery (none, cartilage procedure, ligament procedure and osteotomy) were documente

Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify factors affecting medial meniscus extrusion and cartilage degeneration in medial meniscus root tears (MMRT) and to determine the optimal cut-off values for the factors that predict disease severity. We retrospectively evaluated 86 consecutive patients diagnosed with an isolated MMRT by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations and arthroscopic procedures for 2 years. Patient-specific factors such as age, sex, the time between injury and MRI

PURPOSE: To analyze the survivorship of the lateral meniscus (LM) in the contralateral knee after surgery for symptomatic torn discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) and to determine its associated factors. METHODS: Two hundred ninety-six patients who underwent arthroscopic meniscectomy for torn symptomatic DLM were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were classified into subgroups based on demographic, clinical, and radiologic variables. The survivorship analysis of the LM on the contralateral knee was

To provide heterogeneous device capability in the video multicasting/broadcasting, the layered multicast can be exploited. However, previous statistical multiplexing system do not consider to support layered multicast. In order to support heterogenous capability for broadcasting, this paper presents statistical multiplexing system for layered multicast. In proposed system, video sequences for multiple programs are encoded to one base layer stream and several enhancement layer streams, and base l

Objectives The purpose of this study was to confirm the effects of an auricular acupressure (AA) program for smoking cessation in high school students from 2015 to 2017. Methods The study investigated 12 high school students who had been smokers. Subjects were treated for three years. Each program was composed of five AA treatments. Average daily smoking and adverse reactions were checked for one week before each procedure. The AA was administered weekly at the endocrine point, lung point, throa

Objectives The purpose of this study was to report the improvement of symptoms by Korean medicine in acute hemorrhagic infarction. Method The patient was diagnosed with a cerebral infarction of the right temporal lobe accompanied by cerebral hemorrhage of the left basal ganglia. He did not receive intravenous thrombolytic treatment. Sunghyangjungi-san-gamibang was initially administered, and Gami-daebo-tang was administered during the recovery phase, together with Uhwangchungsim-won, Simjeok-hwa

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of acupuncture for the treatment of Raynaud's disease. Methods: This review was conducted using nine electronic databases (CINAHL, CiNii, CNKI, EMBASE, J-STAGE, NDSL, OASIS, PubMed, and WANFANG) and the keywords "Raynaud's disease", "Raynaud disease", "acupuncture", and "needling". Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using acupuncture for Raynaud's disease were included, and the methodological quality of the trials was assessed using

Background and Objectives: Graft impingement against the intercondylar notch has been identified as a significant contributor to graft deterioration and suboptimal outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This study aimed to (1) identify the optimal combination of tunnel positions that minimizes impingement between the ACL graft and femoral intercondylar notch. Materials and Methods: Three-dimensional models of nine normal knees were reconstructed using computed tomogr

Background: We prospectively compared the clinical outcome between suspensory fixation and conventional interference screw fixation of bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) grafts in patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
\nMethods: We enrolled 32 patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction with BPTB grafts. The minimum followup period was 24 months. We categorized subjects into two groups based on treatment: 14 patients into the interference screw fixation
