Excerpt from The Excision of JointsGreat. Pains has been taken in the preparation of the tables which accompany the consideration of each excision. It is believed that they are more complete than any here tofore published. In their formation, valuable assistance has been derived from the tables of O. Heyfelder, of St. Petersburg, and in that of excisions of the hip - joint from those of Dr. L. A. Sayre, of New York, and of Dr. C. Fock, of Magdeburg, Prussia. The names Of the various opera tors are omitted as a matter of discretion, some of the cases, or the statement of their final result, having been Obtained from private sources, and being unpublished, but, both in the tables and elsewhere, whenever indebtedness to any writer has been incurred, a full and explicit reference is given.In contrasting the results of amputations with those of excisions, use has been made of the statistical tables of Mr. Thomas Bryant. These are among the most recent, and are drawn up with great care, as well as derived exclu sively from British practice and a metropolitan hospital. As this is also true of a large proportion of the tabulated cases of excision, the comparison seems to be a fairer one than it would be with tables compiled from indiscriminate sources.The accompanying standing votes of the Boylston Medi cal Committee explain themselves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
