Excerpt from On the Treatment of Wounds and Fractures
This volume is a consolidated Second Edition of my Clinical Lectures, "On the Treatment of Fractures,' 1871), and "On the Treatment of Wounds," (1878). In recasting those works with my earlier and later writings on the same subjects, and with hitherto unpublished clinical records, into what is practically a New Work, the results of more extensive and mature experience have been incorporated, as concisely as was consistent with clearness.
The clinical material under my hand has so steadily increased, that the book has only been kept within moderate limits, and proportionately prevented becoming a burden to busy men, by excluding all matter not strictly relevant.
My chief endeavour has been to demonstrate the identity and continuity of the principles of Surgical Therapeutics, irrespective of the tissues affected. Wounds are fractures, and fractures wounds; differing in the situation and density of the structures involved, but essentially solutions of continuity, similar in causation, in processes of physiological repair, and in surgical treatment.
