Such cases,if seen at once, should be treated, after reduction of any obvious deformity,by gutta-percha or Gooch splint, on one side, and on the other an angularsplint, reaching from the shoulder to the end of the fingers, or a posteriorangular splint may be used. Treatment of these injuries of the lower endof the humerus by keeping the arm extended has been recommended astending to diminish the displacement due to contraction of the triceps andthe tendency to tilting of the fragments, but this method of treatment hasnot become the accepted one.

The diaphysis projectsoutwards. Loss ofcarrying angle.
