Produktbeschreibung
Whatever controversies may have surrounded the use of eponymns in medicine, they are here to stay. In science as well as in medicine, eponymns bring the present members of the profession closer to their predecessors. This is more so in orthopaedics, even if sometimes there are political and national issues involved in the choice of specific names. This volume is the first of a projected three-volume work, which when completed, will span classic orthopaedic literature from the pre-Christian era to the twentieth century. The selection is entirely the author's personal preference, and in no way reflects the relative importance of the individual eponymns. It is his wish to bring back a sense of nostalgia in these halycon days of busy practice, but at the same time to stimulate an investigatory spirit among members of the profession to search for their roots.
