Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The After Treatment of Wounds and Injuries
This book does not pretend to be a complete account of the principles and practice of orthopaedic surgery. In it I have tried to give the results of the experience acquired during two and a half years' work in a Military Orthopaedic Hospital, to state the principles which I have been led to adopt, and to give sufficient examples of methods and results to guide others in their practical work. The principles of the work are the same as the principles of the older civil orthopaedic surgery. They depend upon three things, a. Knowledge of pathology, a clear appreciation of mechanics, and the realisation that the surgeon's aim is to restore function. Many new methods have appeared in military orthopaedics, but in almost every case they depend upon the application of an Old principle.
