Edinburgh: E. & S. Livingstone, 1943. Third Edition. Watson-Jones "was considered to be one of the most outstanding orthopaedic surgeons in the mid-twentieth century and is responsible for bringing the treatment of fractures to the specialized position it holds today....Most surgeons at the time found the [present] text to be concise and "non-academic," which was refreshing and enabled them to better understand the concepts. The text served as a guiding hand for all military surgeons during World War II. Prior to this, there had never been a fracture text that dealt as comprehensively with fracture management. This remained a standard reference for decades in dealing with fractures and was translated into many languages. Still today it is a highly demanded book in areas of the world where operative treatment is not practical."
