Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Influence of Growth on Congenital and Acquired Deformities
I venture to present to the reader a new volume on orthopaedic subjects, not because there is any lack of excellent systems and text-books, but rather to emphasize what seems to lie at the base of practice in this specialty, the fact that prevention and cure are to be lound in so managing a case and equipping a patient that natural growth will be the principal factor in recovery. Mr. Hilton said: Repair is but the repetition of growth. The same elements, the same kindred conditions are necessary to the same results. This view is far from including all there is in orthopaedic practice, but the thought thus ex pressed should temper the consideration of all pro cedures, whether operative or mechanical, which have for their object the removal of deformity.
