Some foxing to inside of covers. 329 pages; 10" x 9'' Legg-Calve-Perthes disease is a childhood condition that occurs when blood supply to the ball part (femoral head) of the hip joint is temporarily interrupted and the bone begins to die. This weakened bone gradually breaks apart and can lose its round shape. The body eventually restores blood supply to the ball, and the ball heals. But if the ball is no longer round after it heals, it can cause pain and stiffness. The complete process of bone death, fracture and renewal can take several years. Medical monograph from 1954 based on the author's research with children and youth at the Newington Home and Hospital for Crippled Children. He selected this disease for research as it is separate from bone death due to tuberculosis, which it was often confused with at the time. This provides a wide cross-section of patients across race, class, and cultural backgrounds. The prime lines of investigation involve the age of both, birth order of child, childhood exposure to infectious diseases, nutrition, endocrine imbalances, physical trauma to the joint, and how cultural conditioning regarding physical activity affects male and female children different. A possible hereditary component is considered, but uses terminology and attitudes about racial classifications typical of the United States in the 1950s. Includes a historical overview of known cases from archeological remains to help determine when it originated and what environmental factors might be involved. Covers current treatments being used at the time (1950s) and their relative effectiveness. Includes an extensive bibliography spanning 17 pages. Well over 300 papers cited. Original research includes numerous X-rays of joints as well as pictures of patients showing how their body has been reshaped by the disease and body attempting to compensate for the damage to the hip.…

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Three volumes. 4tos. Pages unnunmbered (Approx. 150, 200, 200 pp.). Each case is illustrated with B & W photographs with tissue guards. Bound in textured oatmeal-colored cloth, raised spinal bands, gilt-stamped black leather spinal labels. This incredible work comprises the meticulous records of approximately 92 surgical cases from Dr. Goff s practice, compiled for his application for Fellowship in the American College of Surgeons (original letter laid in). As noted he prepared the histories on typewritten paper, the photos on special thick stock, and had the collection beautifully bound in 3 volumes. Each case includes the history and physical, photos, operative note, follow-up notes, and critical discussion. The sheer breadth of the cases is amazing to those physicians used to the sub-specialization of modern surgeons. Goff s cases include a wide range of abdominal surgeries, fractures, spine fusions, thoracic surgery, breast & other oncologic surgery, rhinoplasty, correction of various orthopedic congenital anomalies etc., etc. Goff was 39 yrs old in 1936. Charles Weer Goff (1897-1975) was a prominent surgeon who practiced at Hartford Hospital, Newington Children s Hospital, and St. Francis Hospital in Connecticut. Goff was known also as an anatomist and archaeologist. He earned his M.D. from U. Illinois in 1923, was on the clinical faculty at Yale 1929-1965, working at several hospitals in New Haven and Hartford counties. He began archaeological research in 1945, esp. the study of Christopher Columbus and the indigenous peoples of Central & South America. Combining his orthopedic, forensic, and archaeological knowledge to analyze osseous remains, he claimed to demonstrate in 1959 that Columbus s remains were located in Santo Domingo and the body in the Tomb of Columbus in Seville was that of his son Diego. (Yale archives). He coauthored a multi-volume work on archaeological ruins in Guatemala, as well as several works on surgery. Other than some wear around the leather spinal labels, and some age toning of the pages, this is a fine set. The letter is raged around the edges. A singular, rare look into the practice and thought of an important, cultured surgeon. Signed by Author(s).…
