Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Lecture on the Development of the Osseous Callus in Fractures of the Bones of Man and Animals: Delivered Before the Anatomical and Surgical Society of Brooklyn Dupuytren, enlarging upon the doctrines taught by Galen and Haller, asserted that nature never accomplished the immediate union of a fracture save by the formation of two successive deposits of callus, one of which is derived from the periosteum, adjacent tissues and the medulla, while the other, formed perhaps from the broken extremities of the bone itself, is found at a later period directly interposed be tween their surfaces. After the publications of Ollier, in 1859 and 1860, upon the osteo-genetic property of the periosteum, surgeons and anatomists were agreed in rejecting the doctrines taught concerning the formation of the callus, and maintained that the neo-formative process was due wholly to the periosteum. These were the teachings received during my pupilage. One of Italy's most distinguished students, Prof. G. B. Ercolani, of Bologna, published in 1866 a monograph upon the repair of fractures, and gave as his conclusions that the extremities of a fractured bone took no part in the process resulting from which the osseous callus is formed, and that the periosteum near the fracture is a less important factor than is usually believed, oftentimes undergoing even a de structive process.
