(After Tkeves.) of the elbow, by transfixion or by cutting from with outinward; a shorter internal flap is next cut in the samemanner, and the joint is opened and the disarticulationeffected. Circular Method.—An incision dividing the skin andcellular tissue is made around the limb three inches belowthe line of the condyles of the humerus (Fig. 397, C),the skin is dissected up and a circular incision made AMPUTATIONS OF THE JAM/. 499 through the muscles, the joint is opened and the disar-ticulation effected (Fig. 398). Elliptical Method.—En this method of amputating atthe elbow an incision is carried from the olecranon processdownward and forward to a point a little above the middleof the forearm ; it is then continued across the anterioraspect of the limb, and is carried back to the olecranonprocess (Fig. 399).
