Lip mvpany The Washington Square Press, Philadelphia, I Preface The present volume is intended as a guide for the general practi- tioner in surgical cases in children, especially those on the borderland where treatment leaves the domain of internal medicine and enters that of surgery or orthopaedics. It is from this point of view that the contents of the book should be judged. It is not intended to give an exhaustive description of the various pathological types, nor the details of pathological changes, nor a minute presentation of the surgical technique. The task assigned us by the editors was to present a brief and concise survey of those conditions in which surgical or orthopaedic interference may become necessary on the part of the practitioner. The lines of surgical treatment are sketched out briefly, so that the physician may have a complete resume of the methods in use. The methods which have been specially tested and approved by the authors and extensively used with their patients in the surgico- orthopaedic department of the K. K. Kinderklinik at Gratz (Austria) and the Royal Policlinic for Orthopaedic Surgery at Munich (Germany) will receive a more detailed and prominent explanation Our experience is based on this material, and the methods we have thoroughly tested and applied are recommended to the practitioner. Short case histories which have been interspersed may tend to impart to the work a more vivid interest. We have also endeavored to do justice to methods em- ployed by others, the original works being cited for reference. As it is easier and quicker to obtain a working knowledge from an illustration than from the most graphic description, care has been taken to provide abundant illustrations, for the careful execution of which the publishers deserve our thanks. With a few exceptions these illustra- tions are original and represent cases from our hospitals. The subject-matter has been arranged as far as possible in etiological groups; this renders possible a concise and clear presentation; some difficult topics, however, had to be discussed in appendices to related subjects. iii 26295 PREFACE iv While the French literature commands a series of brilliant authoi — Kirmisson, Broca, Pi6chaud, Froehlich in the domain of the surgery of childhood, there have been no detailed publications in Germany since F. Karewski's "Die Chirurgischen Krankheiten des Kindesalters," - tgart 1894. 3 We believe the publication of this supplementary volume supplies a real need and trust that its purpose of serving the medical practitioner may be fulfilled.
