A focused, narrative history of orthopaedic surgery in the United States follows the field as it shifts from the use of buckles and straps to early surgery, and how orthopaedic surgeons ultimately came to dominate the treatment of fractures. While orthopaedics means 'to raise a child straight' - this book sheds light on the process of professional boundary formation that led to the modern surgical specialty. It will be of interest to orthopaedic surgeons, aspiring medical students, and those looking for a history of medicine that respects the voices of prominent figures while incorporating the multiple frames of influence that shape the past, present and future.
