The evolution of orthopaedic surgery

The evolution of orthopaedic surgery Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Orthopedics has advanced to a prominent role in medicine since Nicholas Andry first combined the Latin words for "straight" and "child" in 1741. Klenerman (orthopedic and accident surgery, U. of Liverpool, UK) presents 16 chapters, tracing the development of the surgical field while focusing on important medical and scientific details. The papers discuss the major advances of the 20th century and provide information on the scientific background. Seven of the papers discuss the growth of subfields within orthopedic surgery. A final paper ruminates on future prospects. Distributed in the US by Balogh International.
