"Artificial Limbs" by Auguste Broca and Charles Ducroquet is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work explores the principles and practices involved in the design and manufacture of artificial limbs, particularly in the context of military medicine during World War I. As it dives into the myriad of innovations and techniques that have evolved, the focus rests on practical applications for those recovering from amputations resulting from wartime injuries. The opening of the book provides a solid introduction to the topic of artificial limbs, emphasizing the significant advancements in prosthetics that have emerged in response to the unique challenges posed by wartime injuries. The authors outline their experience in examining and fitting hundreds of disabled veterans at the Fédération des Mutilés, highlighting the importance of constructing limbs that prioritize functionality over mere aesthetic resemblance to natural limbs. They advocate for the consideration of fundamental engineering principles when creating prosthetic devices and the necessity of adapting these solutions based on each individual's specific needs and the nature of their limb loss.
