This book provides surgeons with a comprehensive collection of essays on conservative foot and ankle surgeries developed by the United States Sanitary Commission in response to the unprecedented number of foot and ankle injuries sustained during the US Civil War.

Covering topics from the amputation of single toes to excision of individual metatarsal bones, and more complex procedures such as Syme's, Pirogoff's, and Chopart's amputations, the book provides important insights into the surgical techniques and debates that were central to the development of orthopedic medicine, and remain highly relevant to this day.
