Spiral fractures of the humerus that occur during throwing, such as in baseball, are not very common but have been well described in orthopedics and sports medicine. They are known to occur by sudden extreme muscular action while throwing balls. I report on a case of spiral fracture of the humerus shaft while pitching in a baseball game with a review of the literature.

There has been growing movement to need the Sports for the disabled. The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and National Paralympic Committee (NPC) have been structured more systematically and more specialized. For the detailed understanding of the Sports for the disabled, we reviewed the history, international and national organization, and functional classification systems of the sports for the disabled. The biggest difference compared with able-bodied sports is the classification system by degree of the disability for the fair play. There are 3 major classification systems for physically disabled person and each sports organization has a sports specific classification system. At first, we have to classify using major classification systems and sports specific classification system. The most important thing in the Sports for the disabled is exact classification of the disability before event.

Sport related injuries in teenagers can be seen in most organs in the body, but injuries of extremities are most common. The skeletal system of children has not completely matured and varied over age groups, so the histopathological features of injuries are multiple. More efforts are needed to reduce injuries in general and in school students in particular.

Recently, the frequency of meniscal injury of knee has been increasing due to increase of sports activities. It has been known that bucket handle tear is the most common type of the entire injuries of the meniscus. We found 127 cases of meniscal tears and experienced 42 cases of bucket handle tears in the arthroscopic findings from Jan. 1991 to April 1994 in our hospital. We analysed 31 cases which were followed up for at least 1 year. The purpose of this study is to analyse the locking history and frequency, to discuss the several types of bucket handle tear in arthroscopic view, to introduce three portal techniques using posteormedial or posterolateral portal to resect the meniscus, and to analyse our clinical results. So we concluded as follows. 1. Among the 31 cases, 23 cases(74%) had an episode of locking. 2. We found many different types of bucket handle tears in arthroscopic view and the most common type was complete tear in a classic type(11 cases). 3. We were able to resect the meniscal fragment very easily using posteromedial or posterolateral portal. 4. We obtained satisfactory results in 24 cases(77%).
