Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a seminal work on surgical procedures for the treatment of deformities caused by fractures that set incorrectly. Prevailing medical wisdom held that these deformities could only be treated by amputation or resection, but the author developed innovative surgical techniques that allowed for the preservation of limbs. The author's methods were based on the principle that softened bone can be bent or broken with less force. He developed a perforator to weaken callus, the hardened tissue that forms around a fracture, without damaging surrounding tissue.
