This book charts the history of the worldwide introduction of an
operative treatment method for broken bones, osteosynthesis, by a
Swiss-based association, called AO. The success of the close cooperation
between the AO's surgeons, scientists and manufacturers in establishing
a complicated and risky technique as a standard treatment sheds light
on the mechanisms of medical innovation at the crossroads of surgery,
science and industry and the nature of modern medicine in general.
