The time between the date of the injury and of the operation was consumed in attempting to remove the oil with which it had been dressed, and otherwise make the wound aseptic, the wound being dressed several times a day with peroxide of hydrogen. The grafts took at once, and the entire surface was healed in about ten days,excepting two spaces of about a square inch each, which required four weeks to coverwith cicatricial tissue by marginal extension, while fifty times as much surface adjoin-ing had been covered with soft, pliable integument in a few days only. The outcome in this case manifestly demonstrates again the happy results to beobtained by the use of Thierschs grafts after injuries about large joints, in permittingfree joint motion and Figure j. 172 The views exhibited in this case, recently taken, eighteen months after the receiptof the injury, show the new skin (cut 3), the leg being flexed upon the thigh at ; and, again (cut 4), the new tissue picked up by the thumb and finger its soft and pliable condition, even over a half-flexed knee—a procedurewhich cannot as readily be demonstrated upon the normal skin of a flexed knee, as any one can ascertain by at-tempting to pick up thetissues over his own believe that my suc-cess in the application ofThierschs grafts has beenlargely due to the free useof peroxide of hydrogen(Marchands) in dilute form,used not only before thegrafts were placed upon thebroken surface but alsodailv thereafter, to carryaway promptly any brokendown tissues and to removeany discharge of a suspici-ous nature.
