Dr Adolf Lorenz began a series of operations at the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled yesterday afternoon with about three hundred physicians in attendance. He demonstrated his method for congenital dislocation of the hip on two patients, Mary Singleton and Madeline Devereux, with Dr Frederick Mueller assisting.

He noted an age limit, generally under nine, beyond which results diminish, and discussed global adoption of his technique.
