TY - JOUR AB - Abstract PREFACE In the preparation of "Progress in Orthopedic Surgery for 1941" the titles of 2,397 articles of orthopedic interest were gathered from the Quarterly Cumulative Index Medicus for 1941. The number of articles reviewed in the final report is 824, or 34 per cent of the total. The editor of each section has selected the articles which he thinks have the greatest scientific interest and represent the most progress. The chairman of the editorial board has reviewed the material prepared for each section and has made certain additions and changes which seemed indicated to improve the publication as a whole.On account of the war and the consequent added interest in fresh fractures and dislocations, it was thought advisable to publish the section dealing with this subject first. In addition there will be found throughout the publication many abstracts and references pertinent to military medicine. It is hoped that these References 1. Rendich, R. A., and Poppel, M.
