This non-fiction medical volume belongs to a long-running Italian orthopedic series associated with Vittorio Putti and the Bologna school. Volume LX, issued in 1971, gathers specialist contributions on surgery of the locomotor system, with attention to bone, joint, muscular, and post-traumatic pathology. Its structure is likely periodical or collected-essay based, reflecting the editorial model of mid-twentieth-century clinical publishing. The book’s value lies in documenting historical approaches to orthopedics, operative technique, case discussion, and professional debate in Italian medicine. It is most relevant for historians of surgery, medical libraries, and readers studying the development of musculoskeletal treatment.
