(Sfidillot.) palmar arch; or a little below and behind the extremity of the styloid processof the radius, as it jDasses under the extensor muscles of the thumb, betweenthe extensor primi internodii and the extensor secundi internodii tie the artery at the commencement of the deep iKdmar arch^ make an in-cision, one inch in length, along the ulnar border of the extensor secundiinternodii pollicis, at the angleformed by the first two metacarpal bones,taking care not to wound the superficial veins, and the artery is readilyexposed. To tie the artery below and behind the styloid pfvcess of the radius,place the hand between pronation and supination, the thumb strongly abductedso as to render its extensors prominent. Then make a light incision, one inchin length, between the tendons of the two extensors, commencing at the lowerextremity of the radius, and continued in a line with the axis of the firstmetacarpal bone.
