Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fractures of the Elbow-Joint: An Essay, to Which Was Awarded the Second Prize of the Boylston Medical Society for 1873
Fractures of the elbow-joint, in most surgical works, receive scarcely more than a passing notice. In two essays on fractures of the upper extremity that I have seen lately, fractures at the elbow have been ignored. The joint is a valuable one, and the proper treatment in case of fracture is important. In unskilful hands, they readily pass for sprains, which upon casual inspection they closely resemble, and are treated accordingly.
