The deformities of the fingers and toes

** "The Deformities of the Fingers and Toes" by William Anderson is a medical book from the 1800's, that presents, in clinical language, multiple painful, but not life-threatening, conditions that can cause disability in the fingers and toes. The book starts by explaining the reasons these ailments should be studied, because working to understand the similarities, differences, and underlying causes could lead to new treatments of congenital and acquired deformities of fingers and toes. This sets the stage for a detailed look at the anatomy, signs and symptoms, and surgical treatments for these conditions, making it a resource for surgeons and pathologists. **
