This book delves into the intricate world of patella fractures, a subject that had received relatively little attention from medical professionals prior to the authorââ â¢s work. The author meticulously analyzes 127 cases of patella fractures, drawing on their own clinical experience and the extensive records kept at Bellevue Hospital. The book goes beyond simply cataloguing cases, exploring the complexities of treatment and the various methods employed to achieve healing. The author highlights the frequency of fractures caused by muscular action and the challenges associated with securing and maintaining apposition of the fractured bone fragments. The text provides detailed descriptions of the various treatment methods used, from traditional splints to more innovative techniques. By systematically examining a large number of cases, the author illuminates the nuances of patella fracture treatment and the factors that influence the healing process. This book serves as a valuable resource for medical practitioners, offering a unique glimpse into the medical knowledge and practices of the 19th century. Its exploration of the difficulties in achieving bony union, the frequency of fibrous union, and the significant time required for functional recovery offers a historical perspective on the challenges faced by surgeons in treating this type of injury.
