"This book is an elaborate presentation and summing up of Albee's five years' experience in bone graft surgery. . . . It was Albee, who popularized and standardized methods for bonegraft surgery which have since become universal and which have enormously reduced deformity and disability. Albee's methods have found application not only in the bone injuries of war and industry, but in the fields of congenital deformity and crippling caused by disease at all ages" (Orr 956). "As an orthopedic surgeon, [Albee] became a leading proponent of the use of bone grafts and stressed the importance of a precise technique. He believed that pounding upon the bone while using chisels and osteotomes was an important cause of shock in his patients. For this reason he modified an electric saw so that it could be used in the operating room. With his power tools, Albee became the leading proponent of a school of 'bone carpenters.' In the hands of an experienced surgeon, this rotating electric saw could do exactly what Albee wanted" (Peltier, Orthopedics, a History and Iconography, pp. 145-46). See Garrison-Morton 5757 for Albee's 1915 book on bone-graft surgery: "Albee was the first to employ living bone grafts as internal splints. He used cutting machines and saws to make inlaid, perfectly-fitting grafts.".
