PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games and athletes' usage of 'polyclinic' medical services.

Objective: This paper aims to describe the medical service of two polyclinics of the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games and to analyse the injury and illness of athletes who visited the polyclinics during the oilympic period in order to provide some insight with respect to the future construction and operation of polyclinics in mass gathering events such as the Olympic Games.

Methods: The PyeongChang Olympic Village was located near the Olympic Stadium for snow sports athletes and the Gangneung Olympic Village was located near the ice venues for ice sports athletes. During the Olympic Games, polyclinics were consisted of emergency service and outpatient clinics.

Epidemiologic Study of Shoulder Injuries in the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games.

Background: The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the shoulder injuries in elite athletes during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Methods: To collect the data of all Olympic athletes who visited venue medical centers, polyclinics, and Olympic-designated hospitals for shoulder injuries during the Olympic Games (February 9 through 25, 2018), we reviewed Olympic electronic medical records and patient information obtained from Olympic medical service teams about athletes who complained of shoulder pain.

Results: During the Olympics, a total of 14 athletes visited clinics for shoulder-related symptoms.

Evaluation of three-dimensional in vivo scapular kinematics and scapulohumeral rhythm between shoulders with a clavicle hook plate and contralateral healthy shoulders.

Purpose: Acromioclavicular-coracoclavicular ligament injury occurs frequently, and the clavicle hook plate technique is an easy-to-use treatment method. However, complications such as subacromial impingement syndrome, synovitis, erosion, osteolysis, post-operative pain, and post-operative limitations in range of motion have been reported. We aimed to evaluate the use of the clavicle hook plate in the shoulder joints and to compare in vivo three-dimensional (3D) scapular kinematics and scapulohumeral rhythm between the shoulders with a clavicle hook plate and contralateral normal shoulder joints.

Effect of glenohumeral position on contact pressure between the capsulolabral complex and the glenoid in free ALPSA and Bankart lesions.

Purpose: Anterior shoulder dislocation is a common injury, but the optimal management of dislocation remains controversial. We hypothesized that reducing the shoulder in externally rotated position would aid the reduction in capsulolabral lesions. Thus, in this study, contact pressure between the capsulolabral lesion and the glenoid in free ALPSA and Bankart lesions was measured using a cadaver model.
