Recently, the F. C. R (Fuji-Computed-Radiography) system was developed and its clinical applications were reported. This time, we investigated the usefulness of this method in orthopedic surgery. We widely applied the F. C. R to the daily x-ray film method for a year (from March 1988 to July 1989) and we compared the F. C. R system with standard x-ray system. Results: the advantages of the F. C. R system are: 1. X-ray films of F. C. R system demonstrate more clearly than those of standard x-ray system; particularly on films of the portions that have extremely different transparency of x-ray. 2. The margin of the soft tissue appears sharper. 3. Once the x-rays are taken, they can be saved in a laser disc and that picture can be consulted anytime. The disadvantages of the F. C. R are: 1. When there is a metal, the edge effect appears, and it is difficult to judge if there is a loosening or bone atrophy. 2. The price is expensive. 3. Some subjects appear reduced in size.
