Excerpt from Reconstructive Surgery in Peace: Based Upon Orthopaedic Surgery in War
To some it may be a matter of surprise that I should claim so great a breadth for orthopaedic sur gery, but to those who are conversant with the works of such surgeons as Sir Robert Jones, of Liverpool; Whitman, of New York, and the late Gwilym Davis, of Philadelphia, my claims will not come as a surprise. Again, the very word orthopaedic is derived from the two Greek words, orthos and pair, which translated literally would mean a straight child. Thus the business of orthopaedic surgeons is to make stra ight people by combating deformity either threatened or existing and, practically, orthopaedic surgery may be defined as the surgery of the frame work of the human body, in contradistinction to abdominal surgery, genito-urinary surgery, cranial surgery, thoracic surgery or the surgery of any other special part.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the field of orthopaedic surgery as it was used to treat injuries of World War I soldiers, arguing that the lessons learned from this conflict can be applied to future conflicts as well. By looking at the approaches taken by British and Canadian army medical corps, the author highlights the ways in which these techniques set the stage for reconstructive surgery as practiced today. Orthopaedic surgery became a major focus of medical care for these troops because it focused on the restoration of injured limbs, allowing soldiers to return to the front or civilian life with the best possible outcomes. Detailed descriptions of methods and the surgical tools used in orthopedic surgery, as well as complications that might arise from surgery, are covered as well. The author emphasizes the ways in which ongoing improvements in medical technology and techniques led to increased success in saving limbs and lives. Drawing on the experiences of surgeons who treated countless casualties of the First World War, this book offers valuable insights into the ways in which orthopaedic surgery continues to evolve to meet the needs of those who have suffered physical trauma.
