Encouraged by the American Medical Association of Vienna (A.M.A.) he wrote the first edition of his book on bone fractures and modern techniques to deal with them called Treatment of fractures which became his classic work in 1929. His magnum opus Treatment of Fractures (1929) did not start out as a success. Medical specialist printers refused to publish it, so Böhler asked the bookseller Wilhelm Maudrich (jun.) to help him. Böhler had to pay the printing cost and finally the book though it was criticized by some of Böhlers colleagues became a top seller. Wilhelm Maudrich then became a medical specialist printer Verlag Maudrich. It was translated into eight languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Hungarian, Polish and Chinese. The first edition of the book had 176 pages. By 1957, it reached 2,500 pages; Böhler constantly worked on it, updating and expanding. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1674835968610
