The author describes his visit to Ethiopia in January, 1987. Despite the political and social problems in this country, the program run by Orthopaedics Overseas proved gratifying and educational. The orthopaedic needs of Ethiopia remain great. Besides the backlog of orthopaedic cases which require treatment, there is a shortage of orthopaedic implants and instrumentations. The ongoing assistance of Orthopaedics Overseas is needed and welcomed.
作者描述了他1987年1月访问埃塞俄比亚的经历。尽管该国存在政治和社会问题，但海外矫形外科组织开展的项目被证明是令人满意且具有教育意义的。埃塞俄比亚对矫形外科的需求仍然很大。除了有待治疗的大量矫形外科病例外，矫形外科植入物和器械也短缺。海外矫形外科组织持续的援助是必要且受欢迎的。
