Abstract
Second only to the discovery of insulin by Sir Frederick G. Banting, the development of an “End Result System” by Ernest A. Codman MD was the greatest contribution to general medicine by an orthopaedic surgeon. You may know Codman more for his eponymous Codman’s Triangle (made by the elevated periosteum adjacent to a long bone tumor) or for his classification of proximal humeral fractures (which is the basis of the current practice of defining such fractures in terms of “parts”), but the End Result System outweighs them both, by far.
