Summary : If there is great swelling, delay the applicationof the permanent splint. Apply internal right-angle compression and massage. If there is little or no separa-tion of the fragments, use a right-angle splint. If there ismarked separation of fragments, use an extended position. If COLLES FKACTUKI-: 219 the fracture is open, suture the fragments. If practicable, atthe outset, renew the bandage and massag
