Atlas of orthopedic traction procedures
Book style. The writers of the reviewed book are masters of the EngIish Ianguage. This exceptional text insures dehghted readers. Our Austrahan coheagues have offered a soIid and exceptionaIIy we11 done tome. Experimental Surgery, Including Surgical Physiology. By J. Markowitz, M.B.E., M.B. (Tor.), PH.D., in coIlaboration with J. Archibald, D.v.M., M.V. SC. Third edition, 851 pages, 554 figures. BaItimore, ,954. Williams 8 Wilkins Co. Price 3610.00.
The
first edition of this work came out in and was reprinted in February, 1942. The second edition was pubIished in 1949. There is nothing to be gained in trying to impress the reader who, no doubt, devotes his working hours to experimenta surgery. Any book with the background that this has enjoyed over the past seventeen years needs no laudatory review. One does not paint the IiIy. Suffice it to state that in this edition every effort has been made to keep up to date in this fast growing heId. It is a usefu1 guide to a11 who do scientific experimental animaI surgery and is a fine textbook for students of surgery, both graduate and undergraduate. To those interested in this subject and to those who devote their fuI1 time to experimenta1 surgery, this work wiI1 prove a vaIuabIe text. 1937
Reviews Surgical Pathology. By Peter A. Herbut, M.D. Second edition, 893 pages, 528 iIIustrations. Philadelphia, 1954. Lea 8: Febiger. Price $14.00.
The author fuIIiIIs two aims in this work: (I) to consider the subject from a regiona viewpoint, (2) to summarize, as far as possibIe, the newer ideas as reported in the current literature. He has accomplished his purpose. The result is a book that is authoritative, dependable and a ready reference text for those who wish important facts without Ieafing through a mass of irrelevant detail. Medical students, surgeons and those men who are preparing to take their speciaIty board examinations wiI1 find this volume of inestimabIe vaIue and assistance. This second edition has been revised and enIarged by 183 pages. There is a new chapter on the adrenaIs, and a chapter on the centra1 nervous system by Dr. Bernard J. Alpers. Several subjects have been rewritten, others have been added. The iIIustrations are we11 done; 124 new ones have been added and seven others repIaced. There is a short consideration of the embryology and histology of each system. At the conclusion of each chapter is a wide and more than ampIe Iist of references. An Atlas of Operations for Trauma. By Otto Russe, M.D. with a Foreword by Lorenz Bchler, M.D. 106 pages, 48 full-page plates. New York, 1955. intercontinental Book Corp. Price $I 2.50.
Atlas of Orthopedic Traction Procedures. By Carlo *24 ihustrations. Scud&, PH.D. M.D., 230 pages, St. Louis, 1954. C. V. Mosby Co. Price $12.50.
The text of this beautifully done atlas is written in German, French and EngIish. The text is on the Ieft hand pages and the iIIustrations face, as many as ten or twelve to a page. The illustrations are above average, the majority having red lines which make the points cIearer. This work depicts the operative methods commonly apphed in accident surgery in a series of schematic drawings. In this way one can quickIy survey what operations there are, how these are performed and what is required for them. We believe that purchasers of this book wiI1 find it very heIpfu1 and the money expended we11 spent.
An above-the-average iIIustrated book written by a recognized authority and designed to “ . . . Ii11 a definite gap in orthopedic Iiterature by photographs, Iine drawings and simple descriptive language.” The book begins with estimated basic requirements for hospita1 orthopedic traction equipment. It then considers such subjects as care of the skin, care of skeIeta1 traction, care of the patient, hospital bed, hospita1 mattresses and overhead frames, and goes on to consider the various methods of traction in a11 forms of orthopedic conditions requiring traction. As noted heretofore, the iIIustrations are exceptionaIIy good. The accompanying text is to the point and makes clear the purpose of the methods employed. An exceIIent text for students, residents in fracture and straight orthopedic services, the nursing profession and physica therapists who work with this type of patient.
