A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this little book the attempt is made to present Orthopedic Surgery in a simple way to the student and practitioner by re-arranging the subject so that the deformities which fall to the orthopedist are grouped both etiologically and chronologically. Part I comprises the ante-natal deformities, errors of development of the skeleton or of the nervous system, fetal bone diseases, accidents of birth like obstetrical paralysis or intracranial hemorrhage with spastic paralysis: Part II, deformities due to the action of external forces on growth, like weight-bearing, improper restraint from clothing, unequal or asymmetrical muscular development as in flat-foot: Part III, the diseases and injuries of the bones and joints excepting those of the fetus: Part IV, deformities from acquired diseases of the nervous and muscular systems: Part Vis a technical description of the use of plaster-of-P aris, and of the way to make, fit and use some of the orthopedic appliances in vogue in this vicinity.
