Book Description

Excerpt from The Chicago Medical Journal, 1859, Vol. 2 M. Malgaigne, in his classical work on fractures (page says, an important question to be solved is to know if our art possesses any means for softening callus, so as to cause it to yield more easily; and after referring to the means above enumerated, and others, he concludes that none of them are deserving of confidence. It is this want which I mm to supply by the introduction of a new method of treatment. In conclusion, permit me to add that I do not advise the resort to this method in every case. The age and good health of this patient, the superficial situation of the tibia (the only bone Operated on), are all circumstances favorable to success; still, I am not without the hope that it will be found applicable in a considerable variety of cases hitherto regarded as incurable, or in which more severe operations are regarded as necessary.
