On contractions of the fingers (Dupuytren's and congenital contractions) and on "hammer-toe" . te extension was successfully carried fingers being retained in position by the splint and bandage represented inFig. (i, and the splint applied on the dorsal aspect of the hand and finger repre-sented in Fig. 12, was afterwards employed as described at page 67. Drawingtaken from a cast. Fig. 4.—The same hand as shown in Fig. 3, more than two years afterthe operation. The fingers remain quite straight with full power of flexion, alittle tbickeniug of the skin at the seat of contraction only remains. Drawingtaken from a photograph. I have frequentlj seen this gentleman since the operation, and am able tostate that up to the present time—December, 1891, fourteen years after theoperation—no disposition whatever to recontraction has shown itself, and hehas free use and power in the fingers operated upon. Eecently a fascial baud in the palm of the hand, leading towards the littlefinger, has shown itself, but the finger is not as yet at all contracted. PLATE II. FIG. 1. FIG. 2. r\
