The points of the pins are next protectedwith corks, and a long piece of rubber tubing or an Es-march elastic strap is wound tightly five or six timesabout the limb above the fixation pins (Tig. 433). TheEsmareh bandage should then be removed and a cir-cular incision of the skin and cellular tissue made fiveinches below the constricting band ; this cellulo-cutaneouscuff should next be reflected to the level of the trochanterminor; a circular division of all the muscles should nextbe made at this point and the bone divided with a large vessels should next
