Abstract

Although there is considerable interest among orthopaedic surgeons in the history of their specialty, many fail to pursue their interest because of an unfamiliarity with the tools and methods by which historical information can be assembled. The purpose of this article is to point out the resources for historical research available to most physicians and to give some suggestions for their use.
