VERY RARE FIRST EDITION of the most famous work of case studies on fractures and dislocations ever published. Cooper's work became the standard work in its era for British, American and even Continental surgeons.
"Many later clinical modifications were developed from Cooper's original methods" (Bick, Classics of Orthopedics, p 102).
In the spirit of his teacher John Hunter, Cooper discussed not only anatomical and clinical problems with fractures, but also the results of some animal experiments on fracture healing.
