Excerpt from Orthopaedic Surgery for Students and General Practitioners: Preliminary Considerations and Diseases of the Spine; 114 Original Illustrations

Orthopaedic surgery as a specialty separated from general surgery is of comparatively recent date in America, for its first chair dates from 1861, when the elder Sayre filled it at Bellevue Medical College. Now forty-five of our American medical schools announce special instruction in this branch, showing the widespread recognition of its importance and but few state board examinations omit questions on this subject.

From the earliest times, however, descriptions and methods of treatment of deformity have been found in surgical litera ture.
