The posterior part of the capsule is carefully separated fromthe femur, which is then pressed forward. The whole of the cartilageis sawn off in a direction parallel with its articular surface. 4. In the same manner the articular surface of the tibia isremoved with the saw, without injuring the fibular joint, which doesnot as a rule communicate with the knee joint. 5. The patella is carefully liberated and separated from the qua-driceps extensor. The upper synovial pouch must also be dissectedout, if it is inflamed or has undergone degeneration. 6. Both articular ends can be conveniently bored (fig. 483) obliquelythrough in many places by a fine drill with an eye at its point, and Fig. 483. Bone-drill. fastened together by silver wire or
