Manual of INTERNAL FIXATION Techniques Recommended by the AO-ASIF Group / by M.E. Müller, M. Allgöwer, R. Schneider, H. Willenegger.

In the early 1950s, the pioneering work of Robert Danis on operative treatment of fractures was in danger of falling into oblivion. Maurice E. Milller, impressed and intrigued by his contacts with Danis, first critically applied internal fixation and immediate mobilization to some 80 patients and fo...
