Report on medical and surgical developments of the war . e treatment, when the question of closureby sutures enters into consideration. Practically complete absenceof germs is noted in the average case at the end of from 4 or 5 to12 days treatment of soft-part wounds free from gangrenous from 13 to 25 days in extensive wounds complicated by treatment can be begun within 24 hours after the inflictionof the wound, sterilization is as a rule rapidly accomplished. Twoweeks or more may be required to sterilize a compound fracture,uncomplicated by gangrene, when the instillation is begun within 24hours.
