"He was a collector of information not notoriety," was how Leonard Goldner described Samuel L. Turek, the original author of this text. The first edition, written entirely by Dr. Turek and published in 1959, was prefaced, "This book was born of a desire to compile scientifically accurate information relating to orthopaedic surgery and to formulate a method by which these facts are readily accessible." The book achieved those goals and Dr. Turek edited three subsequent editions, with the last being published in 1984. The first edition had 906 pages in a single volume, while the fourth edition contained 1797 pages in two volumes. Stuart Weinstein and Joseph Buckwalter became coeditors in 1994, in time for the fifth edition. They returned to Dr. Turek's original size and purpose for that edition and have continued the tradition in the sixth edition. There are thirty-five contributing authors in the sixth edition, including orthopaedists, rheumatologists, pediatricians, internists, a physiatrist, a general surgeon, and a kinesiologist. The twenty-one chapters are arranged in three sections, with 20% of the text devoted to basic science and basic knowledge
