THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF CRIPPLED CHILDREN IN THE UNITED STATES

A. R. Shands Jr. M.D.1

1 Alfred I. duPont Institute, Wilmington

The author hopes that from this short discussion of our past and present activities the reader has been able to obtain some idea of the problems of the care and treatment of the crippled children in the United States. We are all working for the betterment of our programs, whether it is in Great Britain, America, or other parts of the world. As a result of our efforts, it can be hoped that there will everywhere be a continued rehabilitation of the greatest possible number of orthopaedically handicapped children. None of us will ever live to see the day of the perfect program in any state or nation; we can only hope that it can always be said that the orthopaedic surgeons of today are meeting their responsibility for the restoration of the crippled child to a normal life, or as nearly normal a life as possible.
