Seeingwhat rapid callus formation occurred around these fragments incomminuted fractures, I thought it would be easy to demonstratethat bone-grafting would take place much more readily frombone chips than from large fragments of trans^Dlanted , unless the remaining groups of experiments are for somereason fallacious and exceptional, this is proved to be incorrect. The second set of experiments dealing with isolated bonechips is illustrated in Figs. 83 b and c, 84 b and c, representing 156 MODERN METHODS OF TREATING FRACTURES.
