. The principles and practice of surgery. Fig. Fracture just above the Condyles.

FRACTURES OF THE HUMERUS. 273 Fractures at or near the elbow-joint are more difficult of manage-ment and exact great care and attention on the part of the forearm should be placed at a right angle with the humerus andmaintained in this position by a right-angled splint, After a thorough trial of angular splints made with movable joints,of wood, pasteboard, and various other kinds of apparatus, I am con-vinced that a thick piece of gutta-percha, moulded to the back andsides of the arm, elbow, and forearm, will give the most it can be obtained, an angular splint of hard felt, previouslymoulded upon a model, will answer nearly as well.
