Sobre este artículo
Verlag von Ferdinand Enke in Stuttgart, 1920. Hardcover. Very Good. Collectible First Edition of celebrated Austrian orthopedist Adolf Lorenz's Die Sogenannte Angeborene Huftverrenkung: Ihre Pathologie und Therapie (The So-Called Congenital Hip Dislocation: Your Pathology and Therapy). Densely illustrated with photos and drawings of deformities, primarily children. Full index. Text in German. Scarce. Includes four pieces of early orthopedic booklets. 318 pp. 9 3/4" x 6 3/8. Tight copy with light shelf wear and ownership signatures to front pastedown and front free endpaper recto. From Wikipedia: "Adolf Lorenz is remembered for his work with bone deformities. As a young surgeon during the 1880s, he developed a severe allergic skin reaction to carbolic acid, a compound that was used extensively in operating rooms. Although the condition prevented him from performing traditional surgical operations, he continued in the medical profession as a "dry surgeon", treating patients without cutting into skin or tissue. Subsequently, he was given the nickname "The Bloodless Surgeon of Vienna". His techniques became known as bloodless surgery, reflecting his noninvasive techniques. He was renowned for his treatment of congenital dislocation of the hip in children. His technique involved putting the patient under light anesthesia, placing the child in a plaster spica cast in abduction, then using external rotation as the child matured. Also, he added a specialized walking frame to give the patient a measure of mobility. He created a manipulative treatment for club feet, a process that involved stretching or breaking the tendons, ligaments, and epiphyseal plates until the foot was properly aligned. Once alignment was achieved, he applied a cast so that the foot healed in the corrected position. Through the use of traction and pulleys, Lorenz developed a mechanism for treatment of scoliosis. Due to his fame in orthopedics, he became acquainted with several dignitaries, including U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt."
