The Principles and Practice of Gynæcology
Year: 1904
Type: book-review
Abstract: Tlie teachings represent the best accepted methods the world over; but the reader, however, will search in vain for anything novel.The most recent conquests in the branch of orthopaedicstendoplasty for paralytic affections and coxa vara-are thoroughly handled.The latter is very well elucidated by numerous splen¬ didly executed half-page drawings.The same comment holds good for the chapters on cicatricial contractures.In connection with the operative procedures for the cure of congenital dislocation of the hip, we have encountered in the perusal of these pages the little recognized method of Broca, who, through an oblique incision' traversing the thigh, performs a re¬ section of the great trochanter, thereby widely exposing the head in its misplaced position.A carefully arranged index and a list of illustrations complete this work.
