A form of splintadapted to compound fractures. The illustration shows how the iron bars, incorporated with theplaster bandage, are bent to allow free access to the wound. The limb is slung from a cradle; as arule, the plaster bandage would be carried above the knee. toms, the propriety of performing a secondary amputation must be considered, witha view to preventing death from septico-pyamiia.
