‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "One of the most respected scholars in the history of medicine, Malgaigne was equally skillful as surgeon, anatomist and surgical historian. Written on a wide variety of subjects, his works reflect the classical training and expository skills which he nurtured throughout his life. His influence on surgery is evidenced by the great number of surgical and anatomical terms associated with his name, and by the fact that many of his descriptions and techniques remain virtually unchallenged today". (Heirs of Hippocrates) ---- GARRISON N° 4417 : "This was Malgaigne's greatest work. His description of bilateral vertical fracture of the pelvis (Malgaigne's fracture) is in vol.1" ---- Heirs of Hippocrates N° 1688** (3486/B3/B7)‎
