A treatise on orthopedic surgery . The long brace, with Thomas ringand extension upright, similar toPhelps brace. lUar view of brace. as effective traction as the rack and pinion, nor is the brace, asusually constructed, sufficiently strong to bear the weight of thebody without bending. It should be stated, however, that this 358 OETHOPEDIC SUEGEEY. form of brace is inteudecl to be used with crutches rather thanas a walking appliance. Certain objections to this attempt to combine effective splint-ing with traction and stilting have been urged by those whobelieve in the efficiency of the ordinary traction brace.
