Synopsis

A System of Surgery, Volume II offers a focused look at how surgeons understand and treat unnatural joints, their causes, and practical remedies.

This edition presents the premise, key conditions, and turning points in early fracture care with clear, stepwise explanations.

The text frames the problem of nonunion and false joints, including factors that hinder healing and how they appear in various bones. It also outlines several treatment approaches used to reestablish stability and promote healing, from mechanical methods to targeted inflammation. Through described cases and historical notes, readers gain context for how practice evolved and why certain strategies were chosen.
  • Identify the main factors that lead to unsuccessful bone healing and the formation of pseudarthrosis.
  • Learn about the range of treatment ideas used to provoke inflammation and encourage union.
  • See how surgeons assess and manage related conditions like inguinal ruptures and their complications.
  • Understand the role of historical case discussions in shaping surgical technique and decision-making.
Ideal for readers of medical history, classic surgical reference, or anyone seeking a grounded overview of early orthopedic thinking.
