The integument on the back of the wrist is thinner or morelax than is that on the front, therefore it retracts more than does the latter—a fact to be considered in the construction of flaps. The relations of thetendons, bones, and synovial sheaths with each other are well illustratedelsewhere (Fig. 416). Amputation can be done by either the circular^ singlepalmar, radial-flap, or the douhle-flap method. The Circular-flap Method.—To establish the length of the flap ascertainone fourth of the circumference of the wrist at the articulation, and add.
