Gun Shot Fractures Of The Extremities PDF Download

Excerpt from Fractures: Being a Monograph on "Gun Shot Fractures of the Extremities" This little manual is the outcome of a request made to me by the late Dr. Lewis A. Stimson to write a chapter on fractures for a book he was compiling for the Council of National Defence but which did not materialise be cause of his sudden death. In it I have attempted to put in as concise a form as possible the conclusions formed as a result of my ex perience and observation since the beginning of the war in hospitals largely devoted to the treatment of frac tures, with the hope that the manual may be of some aid to members of the Medical Corps who have not had equal opportunities in war surgery, and that it may help to alleviate the sufi'erings of our soldiers and diminish the number of cripples who will become a charge upon our country. Perhaps, also, suggestions arising from it may lead to the realisation of further progress and thus assist our surgeons to continue the advance so bril liantly begun by our French and British colleagues.
