The denuded surfaces, to-gether with the points for sutures,are shown in Fig. 289. The rawsurfaces are now brought intoapposition by means of modifiedquilled sutures. For this purposea plate composed of lead or hardrubber or a section of catheter in which holes, one-fifth of an inch apart, have been pierced for the passage ofthe sutures, may be employed; this, when adjusted, serves not only to hold.
