. A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations. ugh the amount may be so flight as to be without practical importance. fNepveu : Bulletins de la Societe de Chirurgie, 1875, p. 3£5- FRACTURES OE THE HONES OF THE LEO. The usual routine 6f treatment in simple fractures without markeddisplacement is to put the patient in bed with the limb In a Volkmannsplint (Fig. 36) for about a week or until the swelling has subsided,and then to encase it in plaster of Paris. Under the prolonged useof the Volkmann splint sonic shortening, usually slight, is likely tooccur. Immediate application of plaster is objectionable because eitherthe swelling is likely to increase and make the dressing too tight, or iiwill diminish and leave it too loose. The stocking bivalve plastersplint (Fig. 232) is a convenient means of combining the advantagesof the primary Volkmann splint and the later encasement. Thedetails of its construction are given on page 93. Care must be takento maintain full length of the leg and to avoid angular or rotatory Fig. 232. FlO.
