Synopsis
Excerpt from Fractures: Being a Monograph on "Gun Shot Fractures of the Extremities"
This little manual is the outcome of a request made to me by the late Dr. Lewis A. Stimson to write a chapter on fractures for a book he was compiling for the Council of National Defence but which did not materialise be cause of his sudden death.
In it I have attempted to put in as concise a form as possible the conclusions formed as a result of my ex perience and observation since the beginning of the war in hospitals largely devoted to the treatment of frac tures, with the hope that the manual may be of some aid to members of the Medical Corps who have not had equal opportunities in war surgery, and that it may help to alleviate the sufi'erings of our soldiers and diminish the number of cripples who will become a charge upon our country. Perhaps, also, suggestions arising from it may lead to the realisation of further progress and thus assist our surgeons to continue the advance so bril liantly begun by our French and British colleagues.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive manual, born from the urgent need for effective treatment of war-induced fractures, presents a synthesis of the author's extensive experience in treating such injuries. The book provides a clear and concise overview of the mechanisms and varieties of gun-shot fractures, classifying them according to the nature and severity of the injury, and the complexity of the surgical intervention required. The author emphasizes the distinctive characteristics of war-induced fractures, including the greater incidence of comminution, infection, and extensive soft tissue damage, and how these factors influence both the initial treatment and the long-term recovery of patients. The book details operative techniques for treating these fractures, highlighting the importance of early intervention, meticulous wound management, and the use of appropriate surgical approaches to minimize infection and optimize healing. It also covers the management of infected fractures and bone sequestra, emphasizing the need for thorough removal of necrotic material to prevent chronic infection and facilitate healing. The author stresses the importance of mechanical treatment, particularly traction and suspension, in maintaining proper alignment and preventing complications such as joint stiffness and muscle atrophy. Various methods of traction and suspension are described, along with practical tips for their application. Overall, this book offers a valuable resource for medical professionals involved in the management of war-induced fractures, providing a comprehensive guide to the latest techniques and best practices for achieving optimal patient outcomes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
