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.

3.Study on the Basement Membrane.
Korean Journal of Dermatology 1970;8(2):3-15
One hundred and four biopsy specimens of various dermatoses were stained with Periodic Acid-Schiff and examined. The lesions were grouped into five groups; A. twenty two cases of vesicob-ullous diseases; B. twenty one cases of maculopapulosquamous diseases; C. eighteen cases of chronic granulomatous infection; D. seventeen cases of precancerosis and benign and malignant neoplasms; and E. twenty six cases of miscellaneous skin diseases. Special attention was given to the morph-ological changes of the dermoepidermal junction and the basement membrane. The results were as follows. 1. Among 10 cases of erythema multiforme, partial fraying appeared in 4 cases, partial thicken-ing in 4 and hyperchromasia in 4. Marked convolution was noted in the thickened basement membrane. PAS-positive material was scattered in the edemateus papillary dermis in some cases. 2. All of 6 cases of pemphigus erythematosus and pemphigus vulgaris showed normal basement membrane. 3, In bullous pemphigoid, partial absence in the areas of bulla formation appeared in 2 cases am-ong 3 cases. PAS positive material was present within the bullae and in the upper dermis. 4. All of 3 cases of dermatitis herpetiformis showed partial absence or fraying, 5. Half of 10 cases of psoriasis showed normal basement membrane. Among the remainder, fraying and partial thickening appeared in 3 and 2 cases respectively. 6. Among 6 cases of lichen planus, almsot total absence appeared in 2 cases and fraying in 3 cases. PAS positive material appeared focally in the upper dermis in some cases. 7. Four of 5 cases of pityriasis rubra pilaris showed diffuse thickening and marked convolution ef the basement membrane. 8. Half of 4 cases of lupus vulgaris showed normal basement membrane. Fraying and partial thickening appeared in 2 and 2 cases respectively. 9. All but 1 among 5 cases of lepromatous leprosy showed poor staining and poor visualization of the basement membrane. 10. One case of tuberculoid leprosy showed partial fraying, partial thickening and hyperchromasia with marked convolution, among 5 cases. il. Among 4 cases of condyloma latum, only one showed partial fraying. 12. One of 3 cases of senile keratosis showed partial fraying of the basemement membrane. 13. One case of Bowens disease showed partial thickening and hyperchromasia among 3 cases. PAS-positive material was present focally in the upper dermis in some cases. 14. All of 6 cases of basal cell carcinoma, showed normal basement membrane. PAS-positive ma-terial were present focally in the uppermoet dermis in some vases. 15. All of 3 cases of squamous cell carcinoma showed total absence of the basement membrane. 16. All of the 2 cases of keratoacanthoma showed partial fraying. 17. Among 10 cases of chronic discoid lupus erythematosus, 9 cases showed partial thickening and hyperchromasia with marked convolution of the basement membrane. Two cases showed partial fraying in areas of marked liquefaction degeneration of the basal cells. PAS positive material appe-ared in the uppermost dermis in some cases. 18. All of 3 cases of fixed drug eruption, 2 cases of seborrheic keratosis and 6 cases of verrucae showed normal basement membrane. 19. One case of poikiloderma atrophicans vasculare showed partial fraying, among 2 cases. 20. All of 2 cases of chronic radiodermatitis showed diffuse thickening and hyperchramasia. The thickened basement membrane showed marked convolution focally.

4.Arthroscopic Excision of Intra-articular Osteochondroma of the Elbow: A Case Report.
Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow 2016;19(3):172-175
Osteochondromas are one of the most common benign bone tumors usually involving extraarticular metaphysis of long bone. Solitary intra-articular osteochondroma arising from the elbow joint has rarely been reported. We present a case of 23-year-old female who had pain and limited motion of the left elbow as a result of intraarticular osteochondroma of the distal humerus. Arthroscopic excision of the osteochondroma yielded complete relief of symptoms. Absence of recurrence was confirmed radiographically at two years after surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of osteochondroma of the elbow successfully treated arthroscopically.

STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective study was made of patients undergoing posterolateral fusion of the lumbar spine. OBJECTIVES: To compare the clinical outcomes of the patients who underwent posterolateral fusion of the lumbar spine with commercially available allogeneic bone graft with those patients in a similar consecutive control group who underwent posterolateral fusion of the lumbar spine with autogenic bone graft and to determine whether the commercially available allogeneic bone is useful for postero-lateral fusion of the lumbar spine. SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW: Major differences exist in the ability of an allogeneic bone graft to regenerate a viable cellular network as compared to an autogenic bone graft. This is related to the immunologic response of the host to the foreign bone. The fusion rate of deep freezing allogeneic bone graft was reported as 80-100%. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy-nine patients with spondylolisthesis treated with decompression, fixation with pedicle screws and posterolateral fusion were retrospectively reviewed. Nineteen patients (group 1) were treated with commercially available allogeneic bone (Tutoplast) graft mixed with autogenic bone and the remaining 60 patients (group 2) were treated with autogenic bone graft. Operating time, amount of transfusion, duration of hospital stay, symptom improvement, fusion rate, duration of fusion, and complications were studied. RESULTS: There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of duration of hospital stay, amount of transfusion, symptom improvement, and complications . However, there were significant differences between the allogeneic and autogenic groups in terms of operating time (212.3 versus 230.9 minutes), fusion rate (36.8% versus 98.3%), and duration of fusion (10.2 versus 6.4 months), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Commercially available allogeneic bone is less useful for posterolateral fusion of the lumbar spine.
