*<\/span>Orthopaedia: or the Art of Correcting and Preventing Deformities in Children. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In naming his book, Andry (1658-1742) coined the word \u201corthopaedics.\u201d\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Lyon, Andry was a physician and administrator at the College of Medicine in Paris but was eventually forced to resign as dean because of his spiteful and irascible nature. <\/span>Much of his scorn was directed at the barber-surgeons of his day whom he forbade to operate unless in the presence of a physician.<\/span><\/p>\n

Andry\u2019s earlier and somewhat curious work on worms in humans (a book also in the Martin collection) while earning him <\/span>the title of the \u201cfather of parisitology\u201d in some circles, also prompted his detractors to label him the \u201cworm man.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

L\u2019orthop<\/span>\u00e9<\/span>die <\/span>is more overview than original. <\/span>It includes sections on surface anatomy, postural and limb deformities and abnormalities of the head. <\/span>The accompanying engravings give the work an added measure of charm. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
