To the horizontal beams are attached other vertical rods, which are movable, and yetfixable by screws, as at E. Finally,, to each of these last upright pieces is fixed an iron plate, F F, bymeans of a hinge-joint, which keeps the patella in place. The foot-piece is movable up and down uponthe main body of the apparatus, and can be made fast at any point, so as to adapt the splint to limbs ofdifferent lengths. of bandages, which, while they are capable of doing great mischiefwhen they bind the limb too closely, are capable also of provingeminently serviceable when they press upon certain portions of thelimb, and not with too much force.
