Explore how doctors identify and restore motion in stiff joints, from historical observations to practical treatment.

This volume offers a clear, patient-focused look at true and false anchylosis, the different ways joints lose motion, and how surgeons determine where adhesions lie. It centers on the consequences of joint disease and the remedies that restore movement, including operative and nonoperative steps. The text emphasizes practical decision-making and real cases to show what helps patients regain use of affected joints.

Definitions of true anchylosis and false anchylosis, and how they differ in cause and effect.
Intra- and extra-capsular adhesions and how they form, with guidance on diagnosis.
Case-based methods for restoring motion, from splinting to surgical division of adhesions.
Observations on outcomes, recovery timelines, and factors that influence success.

Ideal for students of medicine and readers interested in the history and practice of joint disease treatment, this edition provides practical insights into restoring movement after inflammation, injury, or chronic conditions. It pairs foundational definitions with hands-on approaches that informed early surgical care.
