Hi everyone,

I have a Korean tongue-tie article that I would love to have translated. The
abstract, picture captions and tables are in English but the text in Korean.
I emailed the lead author and there is no English translation at this time.
Is anyone here that might be able and interested in translating this? 

Thanks,
Lisa Marasco

The Improvement of Tongue Mobility and Articulation after Frenotomy in
Patient with Ankyloglossia

Korean J Otorhinolaryngol-Head Neck Surg 2010;53:491-6

Background and Objectives- Ankyloglossia, manifested by the short and
lingual frenulum, can affect tongue mobility and articulation. The purpose
of this study is to evaluate the improvement of tongue mobility and
articulation in patients with ankyloglossia, which is treated by frenotomy.

Subjects and Method- prospective study was done for 81 patients with
ankyloglossia undergoing frenotomy, and who were aged between 2 to 10 years
old. Outcomes were assessed by measuring tongue mobility, analyzing the
articulatory evaluation and reviewing patient questionnaires.

Results- The mean length of tongue elevation improved from 7.4 mm
preoperatively to 16.3 mm postoperatively (p<0.05). Similarly, the mean
length of tongue protrusion improved from
15.0 mm to 26.0 mm (p<0.05). The mean articulation score improved from 8.5
to 9.9 (p<0.05).
Parents' subjective satisfaction scores improved from 2.3 to 3.2 (p<0.05).

Conclusion- Tongue mobility and articulation improved after frenotomy in
patients with ankyloglossia.
