A treatise on orthopedic surgery . Convalescent hip splint, allowing motion at tiie knee. (Taylor.) crutch (Fig. 271) ; or it may be attached to the shoe and soadjusted as to be slightly longer than the limb, in order thatdirect concussion and pressure may be lessened (Fig, 270). Ora brace jointed at the knee, after the Taylor pattern, may beemployed. This brace is so adjusted as to be slightly longer than the 382 TUBEECULOUS DISEASE OF THE HIP-JOINT. limb, so that the heel does not touch the bottom of the shoe (). Thus the weight is in great part supported on the perinealband. The weight of the brace may be in part supported andincidentally slight traction may be exerted by adhesive plasterapplied above the knee (Fig. 274). The foot-plate, to whichthe upright is attached, is shown in Figs. 273 and 275. Fig. 274, Fig. 275. Fig. 276.
