BY J. T. GILMORE, M. D., PROFESSOR OF SURGERY IN THE MEDICAL COLLEGE OF ALABAMA. In submitting the following report of the surgery of Mobile, I have not gone outside of my own experience, and have simply thrown together hurriedly and disconnectedly my surgical cases during the last year, from notes taken by my young and promising assistant, Dr. Rhett Goode. The majority of the cases are reported in his own language from his note book. AMPUTATIONS. History of thirteen cases of amputation-three of thigh, five of leg, three of arm and three of foot. Of the three arm amputations, two were through the shoulder joint. Case 1st.-John Rupert, (amputation thigh-recovery) from Bald-win county, Ala., aged 23 years, at the Providence Infirmary; railroad injury; fracture of tibia middle third, and of the fibula, a few inches higher up, right leg. This accident happened at Pollard, on the Mobile and Montgomery railroad. Mr. Rupert, with several other young gentlemen, jumped on the cow-catcher to ride a few hundred yards. The engine ran into a cow, which was thrown up, knocking Mr. Rupert off and fracturing his leg. This was dressed by a physician in the neighborhood, the apparatus used being a double inclined plane. By some means the fragments became displaced and were allowed to remain so until fibro-ligamentary union took place; the upper fragment over-riding the lower more than an inch. About three months after the reception of the injury, he came over to Mobile for treatment. His leg was shortened about two inches, and very painful; he was unable to let it hang down, or rest in any position save in an elevated one. The adhesions were so firm that they could not be broken up, therefore it was determined to resect the bone. This was done April 15th, with the assistance of Drs. Wilson and Collins. |
