In the welter of details contained in the preceding pages the reader has, I trust, perceived certain broad shining pathways leading towards our orthopaedic lode-star, the adequate treatment of all the crippled and disabled of our community—adults and children, rich and poor. These are, as I see them, four in number: first, the emergence of our speciality from a tiny beginning, against the opposition of general surgery, to the position of an accepted branch of surgery secure in the support of all the branches of medical science. Second, the development not only of technical skill but of a humanitarian spirit which has resulted in the adequate care of the crippled child and, to a lesser degree, of the crippled adult. Third, the growth of educational facilities for undergraduate and postgraduate instruction and for research. Finally, the integration of orthopaedic surgery with all those progressive elements in the community which aim to democratize our efforts on behalf of the disabled.
