title: Dudley and Griswold: the development of fracture treatment in Kentucky.
abstract: The surgical record of the great state of Kentucky is impressive and one to be admired. Two Kentucky physicians helped pave the way to the modern treatment of fractures. Doctors Benjamin Dudley and R. Arnold Griswold contributed unique ideas and opinions to the practice of orthopaedic surgery. Their techniques and practices were ahead of their times, and today we see a little of each in our everyday treatment of fractures.
