Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the outcomes of early (within 1 month after foot drop) decompression versus late (1 month or more after foot drop) decompression in order to determine the optimal surgical intervention timing for lumbar degenerative diseases. METHODS The MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science and SCOPUS electronic databases were searched for relevant articles published until May 2021 were conducted. Cochrane Collaboration guidelines were used for data extraction and quality assessment. Outcomes of interest were manual muscle testing (MMT) and recovery rate (MMT ≥ 4) for foot drop in lumbar degenerative diseases. RESULTS Six clinical studies were retrieved, including 312 randomized participants. One hundred fifty-seven patients underwent early decompression surgery, and 155 underwent late decompression surgery. There were significant differences between the two groups in recovery rate (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.59, 2.57) and neurological improvement (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.21, 1.66). Early surgical decompression provided better recovery rate and neurological improvement for foot drop in lumbar degenerative diseases than late surgical decompression. CONCLUSION Early surgical decompression within was beneficial in terms of recovery rate and neurological improvement compared with late surgery. Early surgical decompression (within 1 month) is recommended for patients with foot drop in lumbar degenerative diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral neck stress fractures (FNSFs) are commonly found in long-distance running athletes. For FNSFs, early diagnosis and proper treatment are important. The objective of this study was to report FNSFs that occurred after excessive exercise using trampoline in middle-aged women.
CASE SUMMARY The patient was a 43-year-old woman who exercised jumping on a trampoline for 6 wk for 1-3 h a day to diet. Exercise includes repeated flexion-extension of the hip joint. The patient was admitted to the hospital due to sudden bilateral groin pain that occurred suddenly during a trampoline exercise. Hip magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed bilateral FNSFs. After 2 wk of follow-up with conservative treatment, the pain slightly decreased. However, it did not disappear completely. It was determined that it was difficult to control symptoms only by conservation treatment. Thus, closed reduction and internal fixation using a cannulated screw were performed for the more painful left hip joint. After operation, the pain was improved. Walking using crutches was possible. Follow-up MRI showed that the right femoral head signal was decreased compared to the left femoral head signal. Therefore, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and conservative treatment were provided.
CONCLUSION In middle-aged people, excessive trampoline exercise can repeat hip flexion and extension for a short period of time, leading to FNSFs.

Abstract
Factors related to developing postoperative ileus (POI) vary from pharmacologic, inflammatory, hormonal, metabolic, gastrointestinal physiology, neurologic, to psychological factors. Although orthopedic-related incidence of postoperative ileus is about 10%, these studies are limited to spine surgery and pelvic surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate prevalence of POI and to analyze effect of chewing gum on POI and bowel function in elderly patients after hip fracture surgery.A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted at the Gyeongsang National University Hospital. Elderly patients with hip fracture who underwent surgery from March 2017 to June 2018 were eligible to participate. Patients were excluded if they had a mastication disability, impaired cognitive function, previous history of gastrointestinal disease, respiratory disease and low oxygen saturation, hip arthroplasty with causes other than hip fractures, acetabular fractures, periprosthetic fractures, or pathological fractures. Patients with consciousness problem by excessive anesthesia were also excluded. Patients were classified into 2 groups by randomization. Group I received sugar-free gum and were encouraged to chew 6 hours following surgery until the first intestinal gas is released. Group II was given the same postoperative procedure and encouraged to consume water after 6 hours.After applying exclusion criteria, 74 patients were finally included. Thirty-one patients were classified to Group I and 43 patients were classified to the Group II. Prevalence of POI in all patients with hip fracture was 63.5% (47/74). Prevalence of POI in Group I was statistically significant lower than that in Group II (Group I: 41%, Group II: 79.1%, P = .01)The prevalence of POI in elderly patients with hip fracture was 63.5%. Chewing gum had a significant effect on reduction of POI in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Abstract
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) can be defined as an ectopic ossification in the tissues of spinal ligament showing a hyperostotic condition. OPLL is developed mostly in the cervical spine and clinical presentations of OPLL are majorly myelopathy and/or radiculopathy, with serious neurological pathology resulting in paralysis of extremities and disturbances of motility lowering the quality of life. OPLL is known to be an idiopathic and multifactorial disease, which genetic factors and non-genetic factors including diet, obesity, physical strain on the posterior longitudinal ligament, age, and diabetes mellitus, are involved into the pathogenesis. Up to now, surgical management by decompressing the spinal cord is regarded as standard treatment for OPLL, although there might be the risk of development of reprogression of ossification. The molecular pathogenesis and efficient therapeutic strategy, especially pharmacotherapy and/or preventive intervention, of OPLL has not been clearly elucidated and suggested. Therefore, in this review, we tried to give an overview to the present research results on OPLL, in order to shed light on the potential pharmacotherapy based on molecular pathophysiologic aspect of OPLL, especially on the genetic/genomic factors involved into the etiology of OPLL.

Abstract
PURPOSE Upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders (UEMDs), such as rotator cuff tear, epicondylitis, and hand osteoarthritis, have a negative impact on quality of life (QOL). In this study, we evaluated the prevalence of rotator cuff tear, lateral and medial epicondylitis, and hand osteoarthritis in the dominant side and the impact of these UEMDs on the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) outcome measure, which assesses upper extremity-related QOL. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 2013-2015, 987 participants from rural areas completed a questionnaire and underwent physical examinations, laboratory tests, simple radiographic evaluations of bilateral upper extremities, and magnetic resonance imaging studies of bilateral shoulders. Based on data from these participants, researchers evaluated DASH and performed a functional assessment of each region of the dominant side and related UEMDs. RESULTS The prevalences of epicondylitis, rotator cuff tear, and hand osteoarthritis were 33.7%, 53.4%, and 44.6%, respectively. Univariate regression analysis results revealed that epicondylitis, epicondylitis+rotator cuff tear, epicondylitis+hand osteoarthritis, and epicondylitis+rotator cuff tear+hand osteoarthritis were significantly associated with DASH score. Multiple regression analysis, including DASH, UEMD, and regional functional assessments, showed that only epicondylitis and epicondylitis+rotator cuff tear were associated with DASH score. CONCLUSION Epicondylitis significantly affected QOL, while other UEMDs, such as hand osteoarthritis and rotator cuff tear, had no significant impact. When a patient's QOL is affected by a UEMD, there is an increased possibility of the simultaneous presence of other UEMDs.

Abstract
We investigated whether betulin affects the gene expression, secretion and proteolytic activity of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) in primary cultured rabbit articular chondrocytes, as well as in vivo production of MMP-3 in the rat knee joint to evaluate the potential chondroprotective effect of betulin. Rabbit articular chondrocytes were cultured and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-induced gene expression of MMP-3, MMP-1, MMP-13, a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-4 (ADAMTS-4), ADAMTS-5 and type II collagen. Effect of betulin on IL-1β-induced secretion and proteolytic activity of MMP-3 was investigated using western blot analysis and casein zymography, respectively. Effect of betulin on MMP-3 protein production was also examined in vivo. The results were as follows: (1) betulin inhibited the gene expression of MMP-3, MMP-1, MMP-13, ADAMTS-4, and ADAMTS-5, but increased the gene expression of type II collagen; (2) betulin inhibited the secretion and proteolytic activity of MMP-3; (3) betulin suppressed the production of MMP-3 protein in vivo. These results suggest that betulin can regulate the gene expression, secretion, and proteolytic activity of MMP-3, by directly acting on articular chondrocytes.

Abstract
Age-related rotator cuff tendon degeneration is related to tenofibroblast apoptosis. Anthocyanins reduce oxidative stress-induced apoptotic cell death in tenofibroblasts. The current study investigated the presence of cell protective effects in cyanidin and delphinidin, the most common aglycon forms of anthocyanins. We determined whether these anthocyanidins have antiapoptotic and antinecrotic effects in tenofibroblasts exposed to H2O2, and evaluated their biomolecular mechanisms. Both cyanidin and delphinidin inhibited H2O2-induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. However, at concentrations of 100 μg/ml or greater, delphinidin showed cytotoxicity against tenofibroblasts and a decreased antinecrotic effect. Cyanidin and delphinidin both showed inhibitory effects on the H2O2-induced increase in intracellular ROS formation and the activation of ERK1/2 and JNK. In conclusion, both cyanidin and delphinidin have cytoprotective effects on cultured tenofibroblasts exposed to H2O2. These results suggest that cyanidin and delphinidin are both beneficial for the treatment of oxidative stress-mediated tenofibroblast cell death, but their working concentrations are different.

In rabbit articular chondrocytes, the effects of wogonin on IL-1β-induced production and proteolytic activity of MMP-3 were investigated using western blot analysis and casein zymography, respectively. The effect of wogonin on MMP-3 protein production was also examined in vivo. In rabbit articular chondrocytes, wogonin inhibited the expression of MMP-3, MMP-1, MMP-13, and ADAMTS-4, but increased expression of type II collagen. Furthermore, wogonin inhibited the production and proteolytic activity of MMP-3 in vitro, and inhibited production of MMP-3 protein in vivo. These results suggest that wogonin can regulate the gene expression and production of MMP-3, by directly acting on articular chondrocytes.

Abstract
Recently, several new techniques for anatomic posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) have emerged and are believed to restore the normal anatomy of the posterior cruciate ligament more accurately. Despite the latest trend, the optimal methods for anatomic PCLR remain controversial. The purpose of this research is to review surgical techniques for PCLR in cadaver studies and suggest consistent and reproducible technical criteria. For the review of the literature, MEDLINE and EMBASE were screened for articles on anatomic PCLR. Only basic science studies on PCLR performed on human cadavers and written in English were included. Seventeen studies were included in this systematic review. Only the tunnel positions, graft types, and surgical techniques were reported in the majority of the studies. There were many variations of the reported tunnel positions, graft types, and surgical techniques among the studies. In most studies, surgical techniques for consistent and reproducible anatomic PCLR were not explained clearly. Therefore, high level medical research should be encouraged in order to establish standard surgical techniques for anatomic PCLR.

Abstract
PURPOSE The object of this study was to determine the shortest possible distances of antero-medial (AM) and postero-lateral (PL) guide wire tunnel positions required to prevent femoral bone tunnel communication in double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using human cadaver knees. MATERIALS AND METHODS The centers of femoral AM and PL bundles of 16 cadaveric knees were drilled with guide wires and the distances of guide wires, were measured upon entrance into the bone. Femoral tunnel drilling was performed using transportal technique. The diameters of AM and PL graft were 8 mm and 6 mm, respectively. CT scans were taken on each knee, and 3-dimensional models were constructed to identify the femoral tunnel position and to create AM and PL tunnel virtual cylinders. Thickness of the bone bridge between the two tunnels was measured. RESULTS In four out of six specimens, in which the guide wires were placed at less than or equal to 9 mm, communication was noted. In specimens with guide wires placed at distances greater than or equal to 10 mm, communication was not noted. The two groups showed a statistically significant difference (p=0.008). In cases where the distance between the AM and PL femoral tunnel guide wires was 12 mm, the bone bridge thickness was greater than 2 mm along the tunnel. CONCLUSION The technique for double bundle-anterior cruciate ligament (DB-ACL) reconstruction that we show here can avoid bone tunnel communication when AM and PL femoral guide wires are placed at least 10 mm apart, and 12 mm should be kept to preserve 2 mm bone bridge thickness.

Abstract
Ligament injuries are more common than fractures in adolescents. We operated on an adolescent soccer player, who had a lateral femoral epiphyseal injury using arthroscopic-assisted reduction and percutaneous internal fixation. During second-look arthroscopy 2 years after the first operation, there was articular cartilage congruity, without any visible step-off. The axial alignment did not reveal any residual valgus deformity.
