Excerpt from The Surgery of Childhood: Including Orthopaedic Surgery

At birth the bones are soft and readily molded and manipulative treat ment of malformations can be commenced at once. Manual correction of deformities of arms, fingers, legs, feet, neck and ears can be accomplished with slight force and without giving pain. While infants bear the loss of blood badly, yet their recovery is rapid as soon as the shock of a primary operation is over. In adolescence even up to the age of fifteen or twenty the recuperative power from the vigor of growth and repair is-so great that it can be utilized with confidence by the surgeon.
