Author Description

Excerpt from The Surgical Treatment of the Common Deformities of Children The instrumental treatment of deformities at a general hospital has been found in the past too often to be wearisome and disappointing to all concerned, while the common belief, that orthopaedic surgery necessarily involved the use of troublesome and expensive mechanical apparatus, has further contributed to the unsatisfactory results attained. Cases were apt to be shirked in the out - patient room and in the wards; and after half-hearted attempts at improvement had been ineffectu ally made, the patients were suffered to drift away, generally to special institutions, in search of the relief which ought to have been afforded at the hospital.
