Synopsis

This book is an extensive study of the diseases which affect synovial membranes, ligaments, bones, and cartilages within joints. Written in the mid 19th century by the prominent surgeon, Thomas Holmes, this text includes detailed descriptions of symptoms, treatment plans, and prognoses for various conditions, as understood in the 19th century. The text also considers the relationship between the severity of joint disease and constitutional conditions stemming from poor diet and unsanitary housing conditions characteristic of the time. As such, this study provides an important picture of the medical challenges of the Victorian era and stands as a valuable reference for medical and social historians.
