The periosteum in the lowerthird of the femur was stripped from the hone. It containedalK)ut 2 ounces (59 ) of pus. On palpation, the hone feltroughened externally. On account of the extreme prostra-tion of the patient, it was thought advisahle to explore themedullary canal. Two hurr holes were, therefore, made alongthe supracondylar ridge. From the lower one, hloody serumwith some broken down fat escaped under tension. As theabscess cavity pointed toward the popliteal space, it wasthought advisable to drain in that region.
