A Treatise on Fractures, Luxations, and Other Affections of the Bones
Pierre-Joseph Desault and Xavier Bichat
A broken jaw, a snapped collarbone, a joint forced out of place: the great French surgeon Desault treated them all and set down his methods. This treatise details fractures and dislocations bone by bone, with plates to guide the hand. A foundational work of orthopedic surgery from a master of Paris. Learn how shattered bone was coaxed back into place.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
