The Primary objectives of total hip replacement arthroplasty are not only to relieve pain, but to improve motion and function. The range of motion following total hip replacement arthroplasty depends on several factors, especially the position of acetabular cup and femoral stem. Also the oriental need more flexion and abduction in hip motion for squarting position as compared with the European who have different living activity. We studied in vitro biomechanical evaluation of proper position of acetabular cup and femoral stem for T.H.R.A. The following results were obtained: l. Effect of component orientation on R.O.M. 2. Acceptable position of prosthesis was as follows: Acetabular cup: inclination 40–50 degree, anteversion 20–30 degree, Femoral stem: anteversion 0–10 degree. 3. The sum of ideal anteversion of the two components was 30–35 degree 4. Oriental sitting position was performed normally in the ideal position of the prosthesis 5. Acetabular cup is likely insert in the position as far as post sup rim of acetabulum mightbe feasible to be full recovered.

We have exprierienced 10 cases of pelvic bone fractures that were treated by Hoffmann's external fixation devices from June, 1979 to June, 1982. As a result, following advantages were noted; 1. Rapid recuction of pain, prevention of serious early complication, and easiness of nursing care were possible. 2. Late complications such as lumbosacral pain and gait disturbance could be preventable in majority of the patients, as well as shortening the duration of the hospitalization.

Segmental Spinal Instrumentation(S.S.I.) is more effective means of managing unstable thoraco-lumbar spine fractures than traditional Harrington Rod Instrumentation as an operative procedure which afforded rigid internal fixation with stability and needed minimal external immobilization. Early return to normal activity and successful rehabilitation are facilitated by efficient stabilization with S.S.I. Fifty-nine patients with fractures and fracture-dislocations of thoraco-lumbar spine were treated by Harrington Rod Instrumentation (29 patients) and S.S.I. (30 patients) at this hospital from June 1979 to July 1984. We have analysed the results of these treatment and obtained following conclusions: 1. S.S.I. is more rigid internal fixation than Harrington Rod Instrumentation. a) no or minimal external immobilization b) early ambulation and rehabilitation c) lowered complications 2. There was no significant difference in correction rate, loss of correction, and neurologic recovery between Harrington Rod Instrumentation and S.S.I.
