Stimson is undoubtedly right when he says that inintercondyloid fracture with marked separation there is no practicable meansmerely to maintain reduction.^ In fracture in or about the elbow-joint Ihave regarded the prognosis for complete restoration of function as poor, andbelieved that in most of these fractures some deformity and considerable stiff-ness are inevitable.
