Review
Dr Peltier has summarized succinctly and illuminated superbly the development and flowering of a major tree in the field of surgery, now two centuries old and still growing vigorously. The references and index are comprehensive and meticulous. -- Medical History 1994
Dr. Peltier is to be complimented on a monumental work which joins Le Vay's The History of Orthopaedics as current definitive works that define the origin and development of our specialty. All orthopaedic surgeons with a historical bent, or who wish to develop one, will want this book in their library. One couldn't imagine a better birthday (or Christmas gift) for the orthopaedic bibliophile. -- Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics 1993
