So Won LEE ; Sung Shine SHIM ; Jinha CHOI ; Yookyung KIM

The Korean Journal of Sports Medicine.2013;31(1):30-33. doi:10.5763/kjsm.2013.31.1.30

Decompression sickness is a self contained underwater breath apparatus (SCUBA)-related injury with various symptoms and is considered an extreme emergency condition. This is a case of pulmonary involvement in decompression sickness in a 26-year-old SCUBA diver. Although pulmonary involvement in decompression sickness is a potentially severe condition that requires immediate treatment, this condition can be under- or misdiagnosed, and evaluation of this disease by imaging findings is not clearly understood. We experienced a case of pulmonary involvement in decompression sickness and herein present the chest computed tomography and simple radiograph findings associated with this condition.

Clinical Bilateral Poplitear Artery Entrapment Syndrome Caused by a Anomalous Origin of the Gastrocnemius Muscle.

Hee Gon PARK ; Sung Hyun YUN ; Sung Jin KIM

The Korean Journal of Sports Medicine.2013;31(1):26-29. doi:10.5763/kjsm.2013.31.1.26

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome can result from abnormal branching patterns of the popliteal artery or the anatomically abnormal placement of nearby muscles and tendons leading to a sustained compression of the popliteal artery. This compression leads to chronic capillary damage and early arteriosclerosis and embolism that can lead to distal ischemia. Thus early treatment is required to prevent harm to the lower limb. This is a rare congenital disease that mostly affects young adults, usually presenting with intermittent claudication of the leg, coldness and edema. A case where a 16-year-old female presented with pain and coldness in the lower right limb that started 1 year ago will be discussed. In this case, magnetic resonance imaging and arterial angiography lead to a diagnosis of popliteal artery entrapment resulting from an abnormal origin of the medial head of Gastrocnemius.

Sang Hoon KIM

The Korean Journal of Sports Medicine.2013;31(1):20-25. doi:10.5763/kjsm.2013.31.1.20

This study describes the characteristics of injuries and high risk situation in the Korean professional soccer matches using the video analysis. Video analysis is a video based method describing incidents and injuries that may result in an injury using 19 variables and categories modified from the soccer matches. During the 2012 season K-league, video files from 60 matches in the Korean professional soccer matches were reviewed. Injuries and Incidents were recorded when the match was interrupted by the referee because of a suspected injury. As results, 201 incidents were recorded in 60 matches. The most injured body part was ankle. The majority of the injury risk incidents occurred during receiving the ball and heading. Midfielders appeared to be at greater risk than others and most incidents and injuries occurred during breakdown attacks and when a player was involved in duels. Also, improved ball handling skill (especially 1st touching the ball) may reduce the incidents and injuries.

The Korean Journal of Sports Medicine.2013;31(1):13-19. doi:10.5763/kjsm.2013.31.1.13

This study aims to investigate the association between muscle strength and fear of falling in Korean elderly. The study used data obtained by interview and physical test, targeting a total of 339 people 65 years old and over. In order to analyze the relationship between muscle strength and fear of falling we performed a logistic regression analysis to calculate odds ratio and 95% confidence interval after adjustments body mass index, smoking status, drinking status, cohabitation status, self-rated health, self-rated sight, cardiovascular disease and cancer status, history of falls. The levels of statistically significance were set at p<0.05. Through the logistic regression analysis, we found that the male elders who has high level of upper extremity strength and lower extremity strength appeared to have a significantly lower fear of falling than those who didn't. In addition, the female who has high level of lower extremity strength appeared to have a significantly lower fear of falling than those who didn't. This research results show a correlation between level of strength and fear of falling.

Humerus shaft fracture is a frequent injury in orthopedic practice and generally occurs through direct or indirect trauma. Indirect trauma mechanisms of humerus shaft fractures are mostly related with arm wrestling or throwing activities. Recently, the population enjoying wakeboard are increasing, and the humeral shaft fracture can occur during wakeboarding. We report a case of humerus shaft fracture occurring during wakeboarding trick, which was treated successfully using plate osteosynthesis.

Hui Dong KANG ; Se Hyun OH ; Sang Ku JUNG

The Korean Journal of Sports Medicine.2017;35(3):206-209. doi:10.5763/kjsm.2017.35.3.206

Immersion pulmonary edema (IPE) is a form of pulmonary edema that can occur in divers or swimmers. IPE is a rare condition, but can be life-threatening and recurrent condition. The pathophysiology of IPE is still incompletely understood. We present a case of scuba diving induced pulmonary edema in a 46-year-old woman diving in cold seawater. After 20 minutes of diving at 18 m, she felt difficulty of breathing. Symptoms on surfacing were dyspnea, cough, and frothy sputum. Chest X-ray showed pulmonary edema and she was treated with an intravenous diuretic and supplemental oxygen. The patient showed rapid resolution of symptoms and was discharged on the same day. Sport physician should be aware of this potentially life-threatening recurrent condition.

Jun Ki MOON ; Young Ho KIM ; Ki Chul PARK ; Jung Hwan CHOI ; Jae Hyuk YANG

The Korean Journal of Sports Medicine.2017;35(3):202-205. doi:10.5763/kjsm.2017.35.3.202

The incidence of avulsion fracture of ischial tuberosity is reported to present in 1.4%–4% of hamstring injuries. The injury mechanism is known to be caused by a sudden forceful hip flexion in the extended knee with eccentric load to the hamstrings. Although the majority of hamstring injuries are strains of the muscle, avulsion fracture of ischial tuberosity occurs rarely. In this report, a 13-year-old boy with avulsion fracture of ischial tuberosity is presented. Successful clinical outcome was achieved with careful conservative management. Previous literatures including operative indications are reviewed.

Association of Cardiorespiratory Fitness with Insulin Resistance, Blood Lipids and Bone Mineral Density in Young Female Adults.

Hea Gin CHOI

The Korean Journal of Sports Medicine.2010;28(1):25-30.

Whether cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with insulin resistance, blood lipids, and bone mineral density remain less clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and insulin resistance, blood lipids, and bone mineral density in young female adults. Twenty-two female adults (body mass index: 21.62+/-2.23, age: 20.05+/-1.81) participated in this study. Harvard step test was assessed, and fasting glucose, insulin, total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG) and bone mineral density (BMD) were measured. Pearson product-moment correlation, partial correlation, simple linear regression and Dubin Watson test were used to investigate the association of cardiorespiratory fitness with insulin resistance, blood lipids and BMD to examine the statistical significant. Cardiorespiratory fitness was significantly associated with LDL-C, insulin, T-score and insulin resistance, respectively. In conclusion, young female adults who have lower level of cardiorespiratory fitness were more likely to have higher LDL-C and insulin and lower BMD and insulin resistance. This study suggests that not only prevention of obesity but also promoting cardiorespiratory fitness and bone density are important for the health of young female adults.

Dae Moo SHIM ; Tae Kyun KIM ; Young LEE ; Chul Min LIM

The Korean Journal of Sports Medicine.2010;28(1):10-16.

The purpose of this study was to explore the risk and pattern of injury which can happen to first time skier and snowboarder. From December 2006 to March 2008, questionnaires were provided to 7,786 patients injured from skiing or snowboarding and hospitalized. First time and experienced groups were distinguished through questionnaire and accidental reports. The differences in incidence, cause of injury, affected body region, type of injury, and severity of injury were compared between the two groups. Falling or slip down was the most common cause of injury in first timers, while collision with person was most common in experienced. Injured sites were similar in both ski and snowboard with arm and wrist as the most frequent injured body region. Sprain and contusion were the most common injury type for both groups. However, the incidence of ligament injury was higher in the first time skiers and concussion and dislocation in the first time snowboarders compared to the experienced. In conclusion, beginners in skiing and snowboarding happened to show different cause and features of injury compared to the experienced. Therefore beginners need effective programs differed from the ones of experienced, such as mentioning risks of skiing and snowboarding and reserving a porting of slopes to the beginners. Moreover, It is necessary to develop and effectively use protective gear in order to secure elbow joint and wrist eminence.
