Cerclage fixation of a fractured humerus in 1775. Fact or fiction?

P E Evans.   

Abstract

The description in a French journal in 1775 of cerclage wiring of a humerus has been widely accepted as the first recorded case of internal fixation of a fresh fracture. Retranslation reveals that the operation was not in fact performed, although the subject was of surgical interest at that time.
