Excerpt from The Chicago Medical Journal, 1859, Vol. 2
M. Malgaigne, in his classical work on fractures (page says, an important question to be solved is to know if our art possesses any means for softening callus, so as to cause it to yield more easily; and after referring to the means above enumerated, and others, he concludes that none of them are deserving of confidence. It is this want which I hope to supply by the introduction of a new method of treatment.
In conclusion, permit me to add that I do not advise the resort to this method in every case. The age and good health of this patient, the superficial situation of the tibia (the only bone operated on), are all circumstances favorable to success; still, I am not without the hope that it will be found' applicable In a considerable variety of cases hitherto regarded as incurable, or in which more severe operations are regarded as necessary.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a seminal work on surgical procedures for the treatment of deformities caused by fractures that set incorrectly. Prevailing medical wisdom held that these deformities could only be treated by amputation or resection, but the author developed innovative surgical techniques that allowed for the preservation of limbs. The author's methods were based on the principle that softened bone can be bent or broken with less force. He developed a perforator to weaken callus, the hardened tissue that forms around a fracture, without damaging surrounding tissue. Offering a comprehensive view of the author's innovative techniques, this book provides a valuable resource for surgeons seeking to expand their knowledge of fracture repair and establish new standards of care for their patients.
