Excerpt from Nerve Injuries and Their Treatment Owing to the frequency of nerve injuries during the great war, increasing attention has been directed to the subject of their diagnosis and treatment. It is probable, moreover, that, for many years to come, neurologists and orthopaedic surgeons will alike be kept busy with the study and treat ment of the various disabilities resulting from such nerve injuries. The present work, based upon our personal experiences, was written and published originally in 1916, at a time when one of us was on foreign service. The inevitable difficulties of communication, due to war conditions, may perhaps be an excuse for some of the deficiencies in the first edition, of which we are only too conscious. This, the second edition, has been largely re-written in the light of further experience, and, we hope, improved. We trust that it will continue to be helpful, not to the expert neurologist, to whom many Of the facts herein stated may appear elementary in their simplicity, but to the wider circle of physicians and surgeons who may have had a less extensive experience of such injuries. In a combined work by two authors it is difficult to avoid overlapping on the'one hand, or gaps on the other, and to secure that continuity of thought which is so de sirable. For all the defects of this kind each of us willingly accepts the blame, Whilst yielding the praise (if any!) to his collaborator.
