Both flaps are pushed outwards over the external condyle,and the joint opened; a few incisions between the head of the radiusand the humerus divide the external lateral and orbicular ligaments(fig. 460). 8. The joint gapes widely open; the articular end of the humerusis seized with a pair of bone forceps, and sawn off at the margin ofthe articular cartilage. 9. By an incision upon the coronoid process of the ulna the upperfibres of the insertion of the brachialis anticus are divided; the ole-cranon is then seized with the forceps, and the articular surface ofthe ulna, as far as it is covered with cartilage, removed with the saw. 10. The head of the radius is also sawn off. 254 11.
