Abstract

Abstract Bone drilling as a therapeutic procedure is not altogether modern. About a hundred years ago Daniel Brainard,1 a professor of surgery in Chicago, experimented successfully with subcutaneous bone drilling in animals.

Brainard recorded his investigations in an elaborate study which he dedicated to no less a person than the chief surgeon of Napoleon, Larrey, who had assisted him with material and experience. In Ollier's comprehensive book,2 bone drilling is plainly referred to as "méthode Brainard." For all this, the procedure lapsed into oblivion.
