Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Orthopedic Surgery: Designed for the Use of Students and Practitioners The increasing interest in this subject is well indicated in the establishment of special dispensaries, practical courses, and clinical professorships in all the more important colleges and post graduate schools in this country. In many of these, moreover, as the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, the New York Orthopedic Hospital, and the Boston Children's Hospital, special machine shops are attached, in which, under the direct supervision of the surgeon, the mechanical appliances are made. The orthopedic art is thus elevated in impor tance as a special branch of surgery, and the orthopedic surgeon is advanced in dignity and reputation. Orthopedic affections may be looked at in any one of three ways, and accordingly a topographical, a pathological, or an anatomical pathological arrangement may be adopted. The first, or topographical arrangement, is the one usually em ployed by systematic writers, and the deformities are takeh up seriatt'm as they affect the different portions of the body the head, neck, trunk, upper extremity, lower extremity, etc. Such an arrange ment has been used by Reeves.
