Ernest Amory Codman is known to orthopaedists primarily for his work in shoulder surgery. But his contributions reached many other fields of medicine, including pathology, radiology, anesthesiology, and most surgical subspecialties. Perhaps his most important work was that on the "end result idea," an early approach to outcome studies that anticipated much of the current health-care climate. This article examines his life and explains his contributions to medicine and surgery and their pertinence to current practice.
欧内斯特·阿莫里·科德曼主要因在肩部手术方面的工作而为骨科医生所熟知。但他的贡献涉及医学的许多其他领域，包括病理学、放射学、麻醉学以及大多数外科亚专业。也许他最重要的工作是关于“最终结果理念”，这是一种早期的结果研究方法，预见了当前医疗保健环境的许多方面。本文审视了他的一生，阐述了他对医学和外科的贡献以及这些贡献与当前实践的相关性。
