From Handsaw to Scalpel

Season 1 Episode 2: Orthopedics

The modern world of orthopedics never ceases to amaze with its achievements, but our distant ancestors were far from breaking speed records when they had lost a leg... This episode takes us back in time, to when fabrics, leather, wood, and animal bones were all suitable for replacing a ligament, supporting a bruised back, treating a war wound, or replacing a limb. Then, it leads us into today's treatments and reveals what awaits the orthopedics of tomorrow.
