Eighty-six cases of osteoarthrosis of hip using the faces method were reported on the pre- and postoperative evaluation. Scores of “Pain”, “Gait”, “ADL” and “ROM” of “Functional Evaluation of the Hip” were each other correlated to eyes, eyeblows, mouth and nose, which were designed into five grades. Then the multivariate observation was visualized graphically as a computer-drawn face. This representation made it easy for human mind to grasp the characteristics in the data of the functional evaluation of the hip.
