Print on Demand. Written in 1916, this book offers an early 20th century understanding of bone and its repair, leading to a greater grasp of fractures and their treatment. This book delves into the physiology and physics of bone with an emphasis on practical application to the healing of fractures. It discusses the causes and mechanisms of fractures, describing the pathology and symptoms in great detail. The author explains how fractures heal and the influence of early motion, massage, and foreign bodies on the healing process. The book also covers bone transplantation and the fate of transplanted bone, as well as clinical observations on the course of fracture, including complications and their management. The author's insights have laid the groundwork for much of the present understanding and treatment of fractures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

IN the preparation of this work the author has carefully culled from the literature the information which seemed most helpful and with it has combined his own ideas and experience in order to cover the field and to present a clear understanding of this important branch of surgery. Much of the clinical and all of the statistical material has been obtained at the Cook County Hospital, Chicago. Although the author has personally performed the labor of writing the text and gathering the illustrations, for all of which he alone is responsible, he has been fortunate in receiving the helpful cooperation of his colleagues in the hospitals with which he is connected and of members of the Chicago Surgical Societyfi He wishes here to express his appreciation of their kindness if at'any place in the text he has failed to make more specific acknowledgment.
It has come to be appreciated in all branches of medical teaching and research that a basic knowledge of pathology is of prime impor tance, so it is believed that clear conception of osseous injuries and their repair is essential to an understanding of fractures. Better treatment results. For this reason the author has selected examples of different types of usual fracture pathology and endeavored to bring them before the reader's eye by means of line drawings which illus trate the essential points. Every illustration of this character is a careful reproduction of a tracing made from a Roentgenogmm of an actual case. The Artist, Mr. Streedain, and the author have worked for nearly two years preparing these drawings, checking and rechecking each one' until it conveyed the author's conception of the lesion. No one can read all roentgenograms with positive assurance. The author's obligations to Dr. Blaine, Roentgenologist to the Cook County Hos pital, for his friendly cooperation in this part of the work are gratefully recorded. The Artist has attempted to differentiate the shadows of bones more distant from the observer by lighter lines, and where two shadows overlap has indicated the one more remote by dotted lines. Cutaneous landmarks, lines of incisions with skin clips and plaster dressings have been occasionally indicated for obvious reasons.
