SANCHEZ SANCHEZ, Samuel et al. First Report Of An Orthopedic Surgery In Cienfuegos, History Of A Case Of The XIX Century. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.3  Epub 01-Set-2022. ISSN 1561-3100.

The paper describes the performance of what was probably the first orthopedic surgery in Cienfuegos: a scapulo-humeral disarticulation. The surgery was performed by a group of doctors headed by Luis Perna de Salomó, in a period in which great advances were taking place in the branch of medicine. In this study, historical research methods are used, such as the heuristic -in search of locating primary and secondary documentary information related to the event-, the historical-logical, together with the inductive-deductive and the analytical-synthetic, among others. The surgical intervention carried out, due to its local relevance and the high scientific level that needed to be mastered to perform it, evidences the need to study the medical techniques and practices used in Cienfuegos on that date, which, as can be seen, were at the height of those carried out in the capital of the island. Due to the local relevance it had, and the high scientific level that needed to be mastered to perform it, this surgical intervention evidences the need to study the medical techniques and practices used in Cienfuegos on that date, which, as can be seen, were at the height of those made in the capital of the island.
