"A Note on Experimental Cranioplasty"


This paper is pretty neat. Written by a military surgeon, Paul Wegeforth, from the Army Neuro-surgical Laboratory at John's Hopkins Medical School in 1919, it talks about reconstruction of the skull after traumatic injury on the battlefield. Some amazing, pioneering techniques.

I took a quick look at this yesterday in HDAC. The author is experimenting with bone transplants.
