The bandage is completed by afew circular turns above the malleoli. It may be desirable toapply a few spiral or spiral reversed turns around the instepbefore beginning the spica turns, in order to make the bandagelook neater. The intersection of the spica turns should alwaysbe in the median line. Serpentine Bandage of the Foot.—The initial extremity ofthe bandage (Fig. 85) is fixed by means of a circular turn or twoabove the malleoli. The roller is carried obliquely across the.
