The contents of this book are based almost exclusively on purely
anatomical researches. These were stimulated by questions posed in
clinical practice. The results are directed to practicing surgeons.
Their chronological sequence leads to a step by step development of
theoretical bases and to a progressive rejection of old
conceptions. Especially in the field of orthopaedic surgery, a
responsible attitude is possible neither without solid anatomical
knowledge, nor without an idea of functional relationships. W. Roux
had already demonstrated this and he wanted his works of functional
anatomy to be considered from this point of view. He above all
preoccupied himself with a uniform theory of functional adaptation.
Thus it is understandable that the theories ofRoux formed the basis
from which to start. Our own researches seemed at first to
corroborate the ideas of Roux, at least in part. This is still
evident in the monograph concerning fractures of the femoral neck.
Later it appeared that ST. KROMPECHER had made a step forwards in
the matter of chondrogenesis when he abandoned the shear theory
postulated by Roux and held that compression was the only effective
stimulus for the forma tion of cartilage. The research concerning
the healing of fractures relies partly on the theory of KROMPECHER
which was new at that time. But ultimately more and more
discoveries could no longer be explained by this conception which
was only slightly different from the older theories (1. WOLF, W.
Roux, W."
