Dilemmas of Korean Athletes With a Spinal Cord Injury to Participate in Sports: A Survey Based on the ICF Core Set for Spinal Cord Injury.

Objective: To explore the experiences of athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI) in Korea with respect to dilemmas of participating in sports with regards to the facilitators and barriers, using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).

Methods: The facilitators and barriers to sports participation of individuals with SCI were examined using 112 ICF categories. A questionnaire in dichotomous scale was answered, which covered the subjects 'Body functions', 'Body structures', 'Activity and participation' and 'Environmental factors'.

Impaction Grafting in Revision Total Elbow Arthroplasty for Aseptic Loosening and Bone Loss: Surgical Technique.

Introduction: Impaction grafting in revision arthroplasty for aseptic loosening of a semiconstrained total elbow replacement with severe bone loss can provide adequate implant fixation and stability with minimal resorption.

Step 1 Preoperative Assessment: Confirm aseptic loosening by preoperative radiographic evaluation and a workup for infection.

Step 2 Surgical Approach: Use the previous incision.

Impaction grafting in revision total elbow arthroplasty due to aseptic loosening and bone loss.

Background: With the increase in the number of total elbow arthroplasties being performed, there has been a parallel increase in revision surgery. There is limited information about the outcome of impaction grafting following failed elbow arthroplasty.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed sixteen cases of revision arthroplasty performed following aseptic loosening of a semiconstrained total elbow replacement.

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using modified Mason-Allen medial row stitch: knotless versus knot-tying suture bridge technique.

Background: When using a method of suture bridge technique, there may be a possibility of strangulation of the rotator cuff tendon at the medial row. The style of knots chosen to secure the medial row might conceivably be a factor to reduce this possibility.

Purpose: To compare the clinical results and repair integrity of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair between a knotless and a conventional knot-tying suture bridge technique for patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears and to evaluate retear patterns in the cases with structural failure after arthroscopic repair by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
