Bibliography

  • A System of Orthopaedics & Fractures. 1959.
    This textbook arose out of the lectures Apley gave on the internationally renowned course he established for FRCS candidates shortly after his appointment to the Rowley Bristow Orthopaedic Hospital in the late 1940's. He was proudly amused to discover that there was a pirate edition in the Far East and that it attracted the highest rate of fines for overdue books at the St Thomas's medical school library.
