Bone-graft surgery.

Albee was the first to employ living bone grafts as internal splints. He used cutting machines and saws to make inlaid, perfectly-fitting grafts. See especially his “Transplantation of a portion of the tibia into the spine for Pott’s disease. A preliminary report”, J. Amer. med. Ass., 1911, 57, 885-86. See No. 4384.1.
