Second Printing (so stated on the verso of the title page). SIGNED BY E. A CODMAN (on the front flyleaf): "227 Beacon St./ Boston/ June 2d 1937/ This book is autographed/ by the author at/ the request of the Executive/ Committee of the Los Angeles/ Surgical Society, and/ is sent to Dr. Phemister/ as a mark of appreciation/ E. A. Codman/ and furthermore E.A.C./ considers this order as/ a very great compliment/ both to and from/ EAC". With the bookplate of Dallas B. Phemister. Garrison-Morton 4400.4: "Definitive study of the rotator cuff, written in Codman's idiosyncratic and iconoclastic style." "Dr. Codman's unusual book was the cause of a great deal of comment at the time of publication. The book was largely autobiographical in Dr. Codman's peculiar style. The large amount of labor expended and the seriousness with which Dr. Codman treated the subject seemed rather out of proportions to the lesion under consideration. . . . However, the work will have its place on library shelves as an unusual, personal, scientific and clinical document" (Orr, A Catalogue of the H. Winnett Orr Historical Collection no. 1038). One thousand copies of the first printing, at $5 per copy, were printed for sale only to Fellows of the American College of Surgeons. The second printing, which is offered here, was $10 per copy. ABOUT THE RECIPIENT DALLAS B. PHEMISTER. Phemister "was the president of the American Surgical Association and the American College of Surgeons, and was a member of the editorial board of the journal Annals of Surgery. . . . From its inception in 1920, he was involved with the Codman Registry of Bone Sarcoma, the oldest tumor registry in the United States. After its founder, Ernest Amory Codman, he was its second chair. . . . Phemister's name has been given to several medical techniques and signs. Most prominent among these is the Phemister graft, a technique for transplanting bone in cases of bone fractures with delayed union. The Phemister triad refers to three features typically seen in tuberculous arthritis: 'juxta-articular osteopenia or osteoporosis, peripheral osseous erosions, and gradual narrowing of joint spaces . . . present in any large joint including the knee, hip, and shoulder' (quoting from Wikipedia).". …
