"This work is considered to be the publication which most clearly reflects Dupuytren's wide-ranging interests and skills. These four volumes cover a great many subjects including chapters on the surgical repair of hair lip, the classification of burns, contracture of the palmar and plantar aponeuroses, many different types of fractures, tumors, gynecological conditions, infections, aneurysms, and resection of the mandible, which Dupuytren is credited with being the first surgeon to undertake. Volume I contains his description of 'Dupuytren's contracture', one of the most firmly entrenched expressions in modern surgical texts. In the description of this condition, the author insists that the understanding of the clinical condition must begin with a knowledge of the underlying pathology. It was his contributions to surgical pathology, as well as his clinical skills, which brought Dupuytren his rightly earned fame" (Heirs of Hippocrates 1324). Garrison-Morton 2247 (Vol. 1, 1832): "Dupuytren's classification of burns." "Dupuytren's name has been applied as an eponym to at least twelve diseases, operations, and instruments, the most widely used term being, of course, Dupuytren's contracture. Only rarely is reference made to Dupuytren's fracture [see Garrison-Morton 4411]. . . . Dupuytren's fracture has been defined . . . as 'a fracture of the fibula above the syndesmosis, but below the center of the fibula, with partial diastasis.' Dupuytren's interest in fractures was not confined to those about the ankle. . . . An intensely practical man, he designated the first floor of the hospital for the reception of patients with fractures to avoid having to move them up and down narrow stairways. He was a strong advocate of Percivall Pott's innovations and used the semiflexed position in treating fractures of the lower extremity. . . . Dupuytren taught that the common injuries about the wrist were not dislocations, as Desault had argued, but were instead fractures of the distal radius. His Leçons orales contains many comments on fractures in children and on pathological fractures. The problem of nonunion led him to study fracture healing. He was the first to differentiate between the provisional callus, which forms quickly, and the definitive callus, which produces the final union of the fracture." (Peltier, Fractures, p. 42). Dupuytren's "information was gained in the dissecting room, where subjects with fractures who died in the hospital were examined and the pathological anatomy of the fractures thoroughly studied. It was only a short step from the study of the pathological anatomy of fractures to the study of the biomechanics of fractures. Dupuytren became the first to study the mechanisms of common fractures by subjecting fresh cadavers to controlled manipulations that produced fractures and then dissecting them to determine their pathological anatomy" (Peltier, Fractures, pp. 217-18).
