title: [Early orthopedics in Munich around 1860].
abstract: Case histories and patient photographs have recently been discovered from the private "Orthopaedic and Physiotherapeutic Clinic of the Licensed Orthopaedist Ludwig Hugo Krieger", which was located in Munich from 1857 to 1888 under the directorship of the surgeon Johann Nepomuk Nussbaum. The photographs include the oldest existing patient photographs in Germany. The documents reveal the early successes in Orthopaedics, which at the time was not a subject of academic study. Orthopaedics was primarily practised by interested amateurs, who were frequently quite talented, such as the bandage-specialist Krieger, ideally in co-operation with medical physicians.
