Excerpt from Diseases of the Hip, Knee, and Ankle Joints: With Their Deformities, Treated by a New and Efficient MethodBut that these conclusions will at length be accepted, and the theory will be one day acknow ledged, just as the practice has been already adopted, I have not the slightest doubt.Some have admired the form of my splints and have complimented me as though I were only an ingenious blacksmith, a matter satisfactory, so far as it goes. Such a compliment was not anticipated by me. So very few have understood the principles of the treatment, as I have endeavoured to explain them in previous editions, that I am induced once more to propound and amplify the details of what I hold to be the correct theory, for, assuredly, the surgeon who is guided by a knowledge of the right theory of treatment - though his mechanical aid be limited to a broomstick and a bandage - 2 will be more successful than he who is deficient in this knowledge, though backed by the arsenal of a Weiss or a Charriere.This volume is devoted solely to improving the treatment, and the elucidation of the principles which are supposed to guide it. It will, probably, be my last contribution to this department of surgery, as I hope to see more able workmen enter afield in which there is scope enough for the highest ability.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
