A practical treatise on fractures and dislocations . be applied tothe back of the limb, entire. A modification of this latter bandage consists of a number of separatestrips, so laid upon one another, commencing from above, as that each GENERAL TREATMENT OF FRACTURES. 47 strip shall overlap the other by one-third or one-half of its is called the bandage of Scultetus, and it possesses one advantageover the many-tailed bandage just described, especially in the case ofcompound fractures, in the facility with which each separate piecemay be removed and another substituted. Some surgeons prefer toform the bandage of separate strips, and having overlaid them in themanner directed, to unite them again into one by running a threadthrough the whole mass along the centre. Whichever of these several varieties of strips are employed, themode of applying them is the same. They are folded alternatelyaround the limb, being made to overlap and cross upon each other infront, and only the last strip or two is fastened with a pin. Fig. 8.
