Various types of arthroplasty has been performed to obtain mobile joint in the treatment of the hip disease. In the view of stabilization and painlessness of the hip joint arthrodesis has been the treatment of choice in many hip problems, especially in unilateral tuberculosis of the hip. There are many kinds of techniques to gain arthrodesed hip: intra-articular only, extra-articular and combined method. The author reviewed the 42 cases of the arthrodesis of the hip performed at Dept. of Orthopedic surgery, SNUH during the period of 1964 to 1972 with following results. 1. Among 42 patients, there were 29 males and 12 females. Age group of predominence was 2 nd and 3rd decade (66.7%). 2. Thberculosis was the most common causative disease (61.9%) and remainders were fracturedislocation and avscular necrosis of femoral head. Average duration of illness was 3.8 years 3. The operative techniques were 21 Ghomley method (50%) and 11 Davis (26.2%). Satisfactory fusion was gained in 25 cases(92.6%) among 27 cases which follow-up study were possibe for more than 6 months. 4. There was no definite difference in fusion rate between Ghomley and Davis techniques. 5. Satisfactory fusion was gained with Davis technique in avascular necrosis of femoral head. 6. The fusion rate was superior in less than 39 years age group (95%).

BACKGROUND: The study was done to examine the role of long-term diving(5-20m depth) on regional bone mineral density(BMD) in women. METHODS: We compared woman divers(n=38) with matched non-diver controls(n=38) according to age, weight, and duration of menopause. BMD(g/cm2)of the proximal femur (femoral neck, trochanter, Ward's triangle) was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA, Hologic QDR-1500). RESULTS: There was no significant difference between groups for proximal femur BMD. But in premenopausal group, BMD of divers was higher than controls in femur neck and trochanter (p<0.05). Correlations analysis revealed that body weight of divers was significantly correlated to femoral neck BMD (p<0.05). In multiple regression analysis, menopause and age of postmenopausal divers was a predictors of femoral neck BMD in divers. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that diving is has osteogenic effect on women.
