If the cloth swathe is notsufficient to hold the scapula steady, a swathe of adhesiveplaster should be used, broad enough to extend from the acro-mion to the elbow. Fracture of the Acromial Process : The skin-surfaces mustfirst be protected from chafing. The forearm being flexed, pres-sure upward should be made upon the elbow, so as to lift thearm and relax the pull on the small acromial fragment. At thesame time counterpressure is made
