An exuberant callus may, and usually does, diminish in size, butnot sufficiently to remove marked obstacles to function. Such removalcan be effected only by surgical measures, the cutting away of tlieexuberant mass; local applications made to the surface with the object COMPLICATIONS AND REMOTE CONSEQUENCES. 77 of promoting its aosorption are useless. The same press lire-effectscan be produced by persistent displacement of the fragments, and itis not always possible to determine, previous to operation, whetlierthe offending mass is a fragment or the callus. Painfulness of the callus may beij^i
