Excerpt from Treatise on Orthopedic Surgery
In preparing the third edition of this work it has been necessary to rewrite entirely several portions, to make extensive alterations in others, and to rearrange chapters and subjects. These changes have been made in the endeavor to offer to the reader a description of the present condition of orthopedic surgery with its notable progress since the publication of the second edition in 1899.
The most marked difference between the second and third editions will be found in the chapters treating of congenital dislocation of the hip, of scoliosis, of traumatic and non-traumatic coxa vara, and of non-tuberculous diseases of the joints, as it is in the study of these subjects that the greatest advances have been made. Many original illustrations have been added and many of the old ones have been improved, making them more illustrative of the subjects mentioned in the text.
A chapter giving the details of orthopedic apparatus, with descriptions and drawings of appliances found to be of practical efficiency, is added in the hope of giving to the general practitioner technical information which is of use in the treatment of orthopedic affections.
The authors are greatly indebted to friends and colleagues for many helpful suggestions and for their ready permission to make use of their illustrations and clinical material.
