Excerpt from Manual of Orthopedic Surgery: A Treatise on Deformities and Diseases of Joints and Bones It is not the object of the author to treat exhaustively the subject of Orthopedic Surgery. This book is intended for the busy practitioner as an aid in diagnosis and treatment, and for the student who finds little time to pursue the larger works. It is thought an advantage to group cuts illustrating similar conditions in order that comparison may be more easily made. The sole aim has been to consider as much in one sentence as possible, to eliminate speculation, and to present what the author believes the most modern and accepted views of pathology and treatment. The author is indebted to Sayre, Bradford and Lovett, Young, Ridlon, Tubby, Schreiber, Reeves and the members of the American Orthopedic Association, for he has freely culled from the transactions of this Association, and from the works of the gentlemen named, in arranging the following pages.
