Excerpt from The Treatment of Fractures: With Notes Upon a Few Common Dislocations

The tracings of the Rontgen rays, which have been very gen erally used to illustrate the sites and the displacements of frac tures, have been the subject of careful study. Each tracing represents the combined interpretation of the plate made by skilled observers who were in every instance familiar with the clinical aspects of the case. The writings of many who have contributed their experience to the literature of fractures have been consulted. Those to whom I feel indebted for suggestions are mentioned in the section on Bibliography. References to literature are not made in the text.

I take this opportunity to extend my thanks to the members of the Surgical Staff of the Massachusetts General Hospital for their courtesy in permitting me to study cases of fracture of the lower extremity in the wards of the hospital, and to Professor Thomas Dwight for the use of valuable anatomical material. I also thank Dr. F. J. Cotton for an untiring interest in the pro duction of most of the drawings, and in the search for fracture literature. The half-tones are made from photographs taken under the direct superintendence of the author. Due credit for illustrations not original is given next the legend.
