Excerpt from Lectures on the Pathology and Treatment of Lateral and Other Forms: Or Curvature of the Spine
In the year 1854, I delivered a special course of Lectures on Orthopaedic Surgery at the Grosvenor Place School of Medicine; and it was my custom annually to give a few lectures on Orthopaedic subjects, in the course of Surgical Lectures which I delivered, first in conjunction with the late Mr. George Pilcher, and subsequently with Mr. Spencer Wells.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the pathology and treatment of lateral and other forms of curvature of the spine. The author begins with healthy anatomy and physiology of the spinal column, explaining its anatomical and mechanical construction and highlighting the relative proportions of the intervertebral cartilage and bone in the length of the spinal column. The compressibility of intervertebral cartilage is also examined, along with the average length of the spine as compared to the height of the individual. The author draws upon historical observations and theories of lateral curvature of the spine, discussing the etiology and mode of production, as well as the symptoms and complications. Various systems of treatment are analyzed, including the system of complete recumbency, muscular exercises or gymnastics, the system of cutting spinal muscles, the system of mechanical extension, and the system of mechanical treatment by means of spinal instruments. The author advocates a combination of these methods, tailored to the individual patient's needs, and emphasizes the importance of both constitutional and local treatment, depending on the cause of the curvature. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, offering valuable insights for medical professionals seeking to understand and effectively treat spinal curvature.
