Description of
Chapple's Principles of Wound Care and Healing: The Physiological Challenge
3031531035 pdf This book is a tribute to Dr Joan Chapple CNZM FRACS, who qualified as New Zealand's first formally trained female plastic surgeon in the late 1950s and practised as a plastic and hand surgeon in Auckland, New Zealand for over 38 years. She was selected for surgical training by the late Sir William Manchester, who started the Middlemore Plastic Surgery Unit in December 1950. Joan was an original thinker and a pioneer in the fields of wound care and healing in her own right. She self-published The Management of Soft Tissue Injuries: Philosophy, Principles and Practice in 1994, followed by her definitive Wound Care and Healing: The Physiological Challenge in 2003.
