Surgery in World War II: Orthopedic Surgery In The European Theatre of Operations (1956) By United States Army Medical Department
 
The book details the experiences in the care of wounds & injuries involving the bones & joints.
 
The foreword to this book states that in the European theater of operations during World War II casualties were heavy and, as in all theaters of war, the battle injuries of the extremities, including the bones and joints, comprised the largest single group, about 67% of the 381,350 wounded and injured in action in Europe. A large part of the credit for the splendid manner in which this enormous number of wounded received orthopedic care is given to the tireless efforts of the two senior orthopedic consultants Col. Mather Cleveland and Col. Rex L. Diveley. The task of recording the experiences and lessons learned in the care of this large number of patients was assigned to Colonel Cleveland. No better selection could have been made. This entire book is splendid evidence of the skill and of the painstaking work which is characteristic of anything that Mather Cleveland does.
