[2128] ADAMS William: - Club-Foot: Its causes, pathology, and Treatment. Being the Essay to which the Jacksonian Prize for 1864, given by the Royal College of Surgeons, was awarded.
(London, J & A Churchill, 1873.) |
 |
| Author's presentation copy to the Great Northern Central Hospital, where he was surgeon. Signed by the author on the title page. Second edition [First was in 1866]. Hardback dark brown cloth covers, black design on front cover, gilt lettering on spine, blindstamped rear cover. Very thick boards with bevelled edges. Bumped rubbed, lightly soiled. Top edge gilt. 220 x 160mm. pp464, Index. Wood engravings 106, Lithograph plates 6 (1 in colour). Chapters 20, various forms of club foot, history of treatment, reunion of tendons, tenotomy, talipes, talipes equinus, talipes varus, talipes valgus (flat foot), etc. Leaves browned to edges, binding weak. In 1864, the Royal College of Surgeons offered the Jacksonian prize for an 'Essay on Club-foot, its causes nature and treatment'. In April 1865, William Adams, aged 45, won it. The story of this book goes back to at least to 1828 when the French surgeon, Delpech (1777-1832), first described the sub-cutaneous tenotomy of tendo Achillis to treat clubfoot. A German surgeon, Stromeyer (1804-1876), learned the technique and used it to treat an English surgeon who had a club foot, W. Little (1810-1894). Adams was one of Little's students. Thus the book has a long and distinguished 'history' amongst the leading lights of orthopaedic surgeons.. £800.00 |
